Watermelon and feta are a classic combination. Here we’ve added charred tomatoes to add a great smoky, savoury flavour. Chill the watermelon for maximum crunch.

Ingredients

Coriander and lemon dressing

Method

Main

1.For dressing, dry-roast cumin and coriander seeds until fragrant (30 seconds), then coarsely crush with a mortar and pestle. Pulse coriander, mint, garlic and lemon rind and juice in a food processor until combined, add oil and spices, and pulse to combine.
2.Heat a char-grill pan over medium-high heat. Toss cherry tomatoes in a bowl with oil to coat, season to taste, then grill, turning occasionally, until blistered (1-2 minutes). Transfer to a bowl with 2 tbsp dressing, toss to coat and set aside.
3.Arrange watermelon in a bowl or on a serving platter, spoon over tomatoes, scatter with feta, herbs, onion and chilli, drizzle with remaining dressing and serve.
