CHEF’S SECRET
For an extra hint of freshness, add some basil or mint leaves.
- Drizzle a bit of honey or agave syrup in the dressing to balance out the acidity and saltiness.
- For a crunchier texture, add some slivered almonds or roasted nuts.
- Try a mix of different melons to vary the flavours and colours.
- A bit of lemon or orange zest in the dressing adds a wonderful note of citrus.
- Garnish with edible flower petals for an elegant and colourful presentation.
- For a lighter version, substitute part of the feta with fresh mozzarella or goat cheese.
