Ingredients

cubed (500g) Watermelon — About 92% water, and one of the better sources of lycopene — more per gram than a raw tomato.
cubed (80g) Feta — The salt, and the reason the combination works at all.
a handful, torn (8g) Mint — Torn rather than chopped, so it does not blacken.
a small handful (40g) Black Olives — More salt, and they keep it on the savoury side of a fruit salad.
1 tbsp (15g) Olive Oil — A little over the top. It sounds odd on fruit and it ties the plate together.
