Phil's Favourite Salad

The idea for this deliciously cooling cucumber and melon salad was inspired by master chef Rick Stein's 'Charentais melon salad' (from his French Odyssey series).



Ingredients:

1/2 a cantaloupe melon ("spanspek" for the Saffas!)
1/2 a large cucumber
4 large plum tomatoes
2 large balls of buffalo mozzarella
Fresh basil leaves
Any fresh herby vinaigrette

Method:

Thinly slice the melon, cucumber and tomatoes. Roughly tear the mozzarella and basil leaves. Combine all ingredients on a platter and add the vinaigrette. Season with sea salt and cracked black pepper and serve with fresh crusty bread (we find a pesto bread goes brilliantly).
