When the full heat of summer hits, there’s nothing better than a super-juicy watermelon to cool down. And, in fact, when the British weather has a wobble, there’s nothing better than a joyful watermelon to re-conjure the spirit of summer!
So, no matter what colour the skies, tuck into these glorious watermelon dishes and feel a burst of sunshine. Watermelon is aptly named because it's 92% water by weight, so it's a great choice if you want to stay hydrated, too.

Salty halloumi and olives come together in this Greek-style bread salad, and the whole mix is beautifully sweetened by the pomegranate and walnut dressing. It’s definitely worth giving this gorgeous dish a go.
A classic combo: the creamy saltiness of feta cheese is a great partner to the sweet and juicy melon. Add a few finely sliced red onions and you’ve got a flavour explosion!
