WAYS WITH WATERMELON

This is the best time of the year to get hold of that perfect ripe bright pink watermelon.
But don’t fool yourself by thinking that watermelons are only good to eat as a fruit or on a hot afternoon.
Here are a few great tips on what to do with that pink beauty.

WATERMELON & FETA SALAD
Believe it or not – but watermelon, feta and black olives are a perfect mach. Through in a hand full of fresh basil leaves and you’ve got a winner.!!
4 Large slices of watermelon – pitted and cut into cubes
4 rounds of black pepper feta
1 cup of pitted black olives
100 ml olive oli
Fresh Basil
Gently Layer the feta, watermelon and olives in a large see trough glass bowl.
Keep refrigerated until needed - topped with fresh basil and drizzle with a bit of olive oil

Tip: You can also splash the salad with balsamic reduction
Add strawberries and black berries to the salad
These ingredients also make a great pre-dinner /cocktail snack. Simply skewer some Danish Feta, a Pitted Olive and a Watermelon Cube on a bamboo skewer and serve with dry sparkling wine.

CHILLED WATERMELON & STRAWBERRY SOUP
Combine 500g of watermelon (peeled and pitted) with 500g strawberries and 100 g blueberries.
Add a splash of vodka if you like.
Chill for alteast 4 hours. Serve in martini glass as a chilled soup with a citrus peel twist ontop
