Instructions

  • Roughly chop 100 g Curly kale, wash well and put into a large bowl.
  • Add 2 tablespoon Olive oil, 2 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar, juice of 0.5 Lemon, 2 Garlic clove and 1 pinch Sea salt and ground black pepper to the kale and mix well.
  • Add 280 g watermelon and 60 g Feta and gently mix.
  • Serve into a bowl and top with the 10 Pecans (crumbled).

Notes

  • If you aren't a feta fan , then grilled halloumi makes a great substitution. It gives the dish much more of a meaty texture and feels more like a whole meal rather than a side dish.
  • Speaking of grilling, grilled watermelon is amazing. It really brings out the flavour, changes the texture and makes a great addition to this salad. Just cut the watermelon in to bigger chunks/slices to that it doesn't fall through the grill.
  • We haven't added any herbs to this recipe, but in the past we have used fresh mint in it and it pairs beautifully with the watermelon and feta.
  • Another delicious addition to this salad is some olives. It gives a little bit of extra saltiness, along with the feta, that contrasts the sweetness of the watermelon.
  • Not got enough greens in this? Add some chunks of cucumber or celery for some added texture and to make it even more refreshing.
  • If you are all about the sweetness in a salad, then swap the apple cider vinegar for balsamic vinegar. Or, add a drizzle of pomegranate molasses at the end.
