Prepare the melon  

• Cut the melon in half, remove the seeds, and scoop the flesh into small cubes or balls

Prepare the cucumber  

• Peel and dice the cucumber into small cubes. Lightly sprinkle with salt, cover with a plate, and leave for 30 minutes. Rinse well with cold water and drain.

 Make the dressing  

• In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, salt, pepper (and sugar if using). Slowly drizzle in the oil while whisking to combine. 
• Or add all the dressing ingredients to a small screw-top jar, pop the lid on, and give it a good shake until everything’s well combined.

Assemble the salad  

• In a large mixing bowl, toss together the melon, tomatoes, and cucumber. Pour over the dressing, cover, and refrigerate for 2–3 hours so the flavours can develop.

Add herbs before serving  

• Stir through the chopped parsley, mint, and chives just before serving.

Serve and enjoy!  

• Spoon into bowls or cups and serve with a spoon to catch all the delicious juices.
