Ingredients
  • 2 cheeks of buffalo mozzarella
  • 3 slices of firm watermelon roughly 10x5x2cm
  • 5 radishes thinly sliced
  • 1 cucumber thinly sliced
  • 3-4 basil leaves roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp black sesame
Method
  1. First we are going to heat a griddle pan or thick based frypan on medium/high. Once it is hot, baste your watermelon slices with 1tbsp olive oil and cook for 1 minute on each side until you have nice charred marks on your fruit.
  2. Assemble your salad ingredients on the base of a platter or two plates.
  3. Place down the charred watermelon and whole/sliced buffalo mozzarella.
  4. Finally, garnish with black sesame, basil leaves and a drizzle of olive oil.

Note: this salad is so quick, healthy, easy and an impressive dinner party option. You can prepare the platter beforehand and at the last minute cook the pre-cut watermelon, garnishing quickly so that you get to spend more time with your guests.
