Ingredients

Method

• 800 g Woolworths seasonal melon mix (watermelon, sweet orange melon, green melon)
• 1 t Woolworths chilli and lime salt
• 2 limes, zested and juiced
• 1/3 cup Woolworths fynbos honey
• 500 g feta cheese
• 2 cups double-thick plain yoghurt
• 1 T lemon zest
• salt, to taste
• ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
• fresh mint, finely sliced, to garnish

Method

Ingredients

1. Place the melon into a large bowl and season with the chilli-and-lime salt, lime juice and zest and half of the honey, tossing gently to combine. Chill to marinate.

2. Blend the feta, yoghurt, lemon zest and a pinch of salt until small crumbs form, then then drizzle in the olive oil and blend until the feta is whipped and smooth.

3. Spoon the whipped feta onto a serving platter, using the back of a spoon to smooth the top. Drizzle over the remaining honey, then top with the marinated melon and garnish with mint and lime zest. Serve cold.

Cook's note: The whipped feta will lose some of its airy, smooth texture when chilled, so serve immediately or make it just before serving.
