Ingredients

  • 700 g melon, cut into cubes - I used 3 kinds
  • 250 g strawberries, sliced
  • 1 mango, cut into cubes
  • 1 large avocado, cut into cubes
  • 3 spring onions, finely sliced
  • 1 pot basil, leaves only
  • 1-2 limes, juice and finely grated zest
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • Optional: feta and/or toasted pine nuts, to serve

Instructions

  • Mix the melon, strawberries, mango, spring onions and basil well together in a bowl.
    I used watermelon, cantaloupe and honeydew melon, - but use the ones you prefer or can get hold of. 2 kinds is also plenty.
  • Drizzle with a tablespoon of the oil and the juice of a single lime, and season with freshly ground pepper.
  • Tip the melon salad into a serving bowl, top with the avocado cubes, - then taste and decide whether you want more lime juice over it.
    Whether you need 1 or 2 depends entirely on how juicy your limes are.
  • Drizzle the remaining oil over the top of the salad, and scatter the finely grated lime zest over the top.
  • Serve the salad with a little extra freshly ground pepper on top, and if you like, a bowl of crumbled feta or toasted pine nuts on the side, or sprinkled over the salad.
