I did something like this almost a week ago!

Yours looks better though, and I must try!

This is one of my favourite salads! It’s great with basil and pistachios as well…you can also toss the feta with olive oil and oregano and bake it for abt 5mins just till it browns and gets a bit crispy and then toss it in…it’s LOVELY!

You’ve definitely inspired me to try this! In fact I have a huge thing for strange-sounding sweet-savoury combinations that work so well in real life (pear and blue cheese pizza; mango, bacon and chicken salad; parma-wrapped nectarines…). It’s suddenly delightfully spring-like in the UK, so will try this as soon as I see a nice watermelon.

Another good tip I learned from always having nectarines in the backyard – always choose those that have sun-speckled skin – it means they’ve ripened longer on the tree and will be much sweeter than those with perfect colouring.

Oh, I love this salad! I first heard about it from Nigella. I remember thinking, I have to try this, but it’s probably going to be gross! But it wasn’t! It’s really good!!

mmmh, I LOVE watermelon and feta (we often have it with a little parma ham, too) although I’ve never added the balsamic.

You’ve got me craving the warmer weather, when lovely light salads are a pleasure, not a torture!

i love this as a salad, the contrast of flavours is fabulous! My friend Adam made me this, but added a drizzle of balsamic dressing and it was very tasty

Hi, I used a similar recipe which used cucumber as well. Everyone enjoyed it:

¼ watermelon, skinned and cut into 2.5cm (1in) cubes
2 x 200g packs feta cheese, cut into 2.5cm (1in) cubes
1 cucumber, peeled, deseeded and cut into 2.5cm (1in) cubes
2tbsp capers, drained
3tbsp red wine vinegar
5tbsp olive oil

Place the watermelon, feta cheese, cucumber and capers in a large serving dish, then whisk together the red wine vinegar and olive oil and pour over the salad. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper and serve chilled.
