As improbable as it might sound, this combination is utterly fantastic, both savoury and refreshing at the same time. You can pare it down to the essential contrast, and serve no more than a plate of chunked watermelon, sprinkled with feta and mint and spritzed with lime, but this full-length version is hardly troublesome to make and once made will, I assure you, become a regular feature of your table.

My late Father, Greek to the core, would always swear that a meal was never complete without a bowl of fresh watermelon, Sheep's Feta, Kalamata Olives and the freshest, crustiest bread to mop up the gorgeous juices....Bless him, I couldn't agree more! xx

Dear Nigella, Being a Greek myself, I have to tell you that you have great imagination combining onion with watermelon :) We've never thought of it :) Great Recipe! Congratulations!!!!!

We love this combination. The Turks love this with a sprinkling of pomegranate molasses added at the end. Delicious with chunks of village break mmmmm

I made half the recipe (supposed to be for 4) just for me and my husband. And it was over in 30 minutes! But I used mint instead of parsley, because that's what I had at home... Wonderful!
