Summer Salad with Lime or Lemon Dressing

Fresh, like you're sitting seaside in Italy.
Prep Time:10 minutes
Course: Salad, Side Dish
Servings: 6 as a side

Ingredients

  • ½ head iceberg or oak leaf lettuce, washed and prepped
  • ½ continental cucumber or 2 Lebanese cucumbers, sliced - or more if you like cucumber
  • 1-2 slices watermelon per person, thickly chopped
  • feta (optional)

Dressing

  • 2 tbsp lime or lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp caster sugar
  • 2 tbsp light-flavoured olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Prep the leaves and cucumber. Add lemon juice and garlic to sugar and whisk together.
  • Toss dressing with leaves and cucumber, leaving aside a tiny amount of dressing. It's quite watery, but you will end up using it all.
  • Place watermelon in an aesthetically pleasing manner to your liking around the bowl (tossed, it likes to sink to the bottom). Crumble feta if using over the top. Lightly coat with remaining dressing.
