Watermelon & Feta Salad With Crispbread
This refreshing watermelon and feta salad is a delightful combination of sweet and salty flavors, with a touch of freshness from herbs and a crunch from homemade crispbreads. The juicy watermelon pairs perfectly with the creamy feta and briny olives, all brought together by a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Served alongside crispy, seed-topped bread, this dish is a delicious and satisfying summer treat.

Ingredients
- ½ a watermelon (about 1.5kg), peeled, deseeded and cut into chunks
- 200g block feta cheese , cubed
- large handful black olives
- handful flat-leaf parsley and mint leaves, roughly chopped
- 1 red onion , finely sliced into rings
- olive oil and balsamic vinegar, to serve
- ½ a 500g pack white bread mix
- 1 tbsp olive oil , plus a little extra for drizzling
- plain flour , for dusting
- 1 egg white , beaten
- a mix of sesame seeds , poppy seeds and fennel seeds, for scattering
Instructions
- Make up the bread according to pack instructions with 1 tbsp olive oil. Leave to rise in a warm place for about 1 hr until doubled in size. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Knock the bread back and divide into 6 pieces. On a floured surface, roll the breads out as thinly as possible, then transfer to baking trays. Brush with the egg white and scatter with the mixed seeds. Bake for about 15 mins until crisp and brown; if they puff up, even better. You may need to do this in batches. The breads can be made the previous day and kept in an airtight container.
- In a large serving bowl, lightly toss the melon with the feta and olives. Scatter over the herbs and onion rings, then serve with the olive oil and balsamic for drizzling over. Serve the pile of crispbreads on the side for breaking up and using to scoop the salad.
