Healthy, refreshing and full of flavour, this simple watermelon and mango salad is perfect to complement a spread of meats or cheeses. The secret of the presentation of the salad is the colours, the secret of the flavour is the dressing! Dressings are an important element in salads, I usually make a good batch of dressing and keep it to hand.

For the salad 

Half a medium watermelon cut into squares

1 small Galia melon cut into squares

1 large mango cut into squares

For the dressing

200 ml olive oil

The juice of 1 lime

1 tsp of clear honey

A pinch of mustard

Salt and pepper to taste

A handful of dill or mint

Mix all the ingredients, except the herbs, in a jug and whisk vigorously. (You can also use a hand blender.) Pour over the salad, to taste.  Finish decorating the salad with fresh herbs and serve.
