Ingredients

Method
  • For the dressing:
  • 2 yellow peppers
  • ¾ cups olive oil
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Yellow watermelon salad:
  • 1 Woolworths half yellow watermelon, sliced into wedges and cubes
  • 150 g Woolworths exotic tomatoes
  • 2 x 100 g Woolworths chevin goat’s cheese
  • 5 g Woolworths edible flowers
  • 10 g fresh dill, roughly chopped
  • 10 g fresh mint, roughly chopped
  • 10 g fresh Italian parsley, roughly chopped
  • 20 g pine nuts, lightly toasted
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1. To make the dressing, char the peppers until blackened over a gas flame or under the oven’s grill. Place in a bowl, cover with cling wrap and allow to steam for 5 minutes. Peel and seed the peppers, then place in a blender with the olive oil. Blend until smooth, then pass through muslin cloth or a fine sieve. Season and set aside.

2. To assemble the salad, place the watermelon and tomatoes on a platter. Roll the goat's cheese in the chopped flowers and herbs. Place on the platter and drizzle over the dressing. Top with the pine nuts.
