Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Cut the watermelon into bite-size cubes of about 2.5 cm (1 in), discarding any seeds.

  2. 2

    Slice the onion into thin half-moons.

  3. 3

    Toss the onion with the lemon juice in a small bowl and leave it for 5 min to soften its bite.

  4. 4

    Break the feta into rough chunks.

  5. 5

    Tear the mint leaves, keeping a few small sprigs whole for the top.

  6. 6

    Spread the watermelon over a wide platter.

  7. 7

    Scatter over the onion with its juice, then the feta and the torn mint.

  8. 8

    Drizzle with the olive oil and finish with pepper and a little salt, going easy as feta is already salty.

  9. 9

    Top with the reserved mint sprigs and serve straight away, while the melon is cold.
