1 handful of Greek basil
For the Dressing

2g salt
1g cracked black pepper
Method
Peel and cut the melon into 2cm cubes and place in a large salad bowl.
Finely slice the red onion and add to the melon.
Cut the cucumber long ways in half and use a teaspoon to remove the seeds, then slice up and add to the bowl.
Cut the tomatoes in half and add to the salad.
Slice the strawberries into about ½ cm slices and add to the bowl.
Sprinkle in the seeds and mix together.
In another bowl or spare jam jar, whisk together the ingredients for the dressing and then pour over the salad.
Take the feta and break with your hands or chop into small cubes or pieces.
Mix the salad together, allowing all the dressing to coat the salad before sprinkling over the feta.
A final scattering of picked Greek basil will finish the salad perfectly.
