1 bunch watercress, trimmed and leaves picked
1/4 cup torn mint leaves
1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
freshly cracked black pepper
800 g watermelon, peeled and cut into small wedges
100 g low-cal fetta, crumbled
- Combine the watercress, mint, onion, vinegar and oil in a bowl. Season.
- Toss to coat and transfer to a large plate. Top with the watermelon and fetta.
TIPS
Watercress grows in water and doesn't survive long in the fridge, so try to buy it on the day you'll be using it.
Keep mint wrapped in a damp cloth in the fridge. If it has gone limp, soak it in cold water for 15 minutes and drain before using.
