#  Whipped Feta &amp; Griddled Watermelon Salad  


A whipped feta and watermelon combination is a staple and an all-round favourite when it comes to summer starters. While you don’t need to griddle (or barbecue) the watermelon, the addition of the heat really helps concentrate the sweetness in the flesh, pairing perfectly with the saltiness of the feta.

   Pinch of salt  

   Pinch of sugar  

 



  

 For the Whipped Feta  


   100g feta, crumbled  

   125g ricotta (or other cream cheese)  

   Zest of 1/2 a lemon  

   Black pepper  

   350g mixed heritage tomatoes  

   Salt  

   2-3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil  

   1/2 small watermelon (1kg, peeled weight about 350g)  

 



  

 To Serve  


   100g green olives, crushed  

   Za'atar

Method

 Step 1 

Finely slice the shallot into very thin rounds. Transfer to a small bowl and toss with the vinegar, salt and sugar. Set aside.



 Step 2 

Whiz the feta and ricotta in a small food processor until velvety smooth. Stir through the lemon zest and black pepper. Chill in fridge.



 Step 3 

Slice or chop the tomatoes into chunks and toss with salt and olive oil. Set aside.



 Step 4 

Peel the watermelon skin off with a sharp knife. Slice the watermelon into 1.5cm slices.



 Step 5 

Heat a griddle pan to very hot. Add the watermelon slices, as many as you can fit at a time without overcrowding. Sear on both sides for 2-3 mins and set aside to cool. Once cool toss with the tomatoes and their juices



 Step 6 

When ready to serve, dollop the whipped feta onto a plate and pile up the watermelon and tomatoes, alternating between both.



 Step 7 

Add the pickled shallot, pitted olives, scatter with za’atar and garnish with the purple basil.
