Ingredients
½ medium seedless watermelon (about 2 ¼ pounds or 1 kilogram)1 lemon
3 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 small fresh red chili, such as cherry bomb or red jalapeño, seeded and minced
1 Tsp fresh ginger, grated
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 handful fresh cilantro or mint leaves, coarsely chopped

Method:

Peel the watermelon, cut into large cubes and put in a large bowl.

Add the finely grated lemon zest and juice, olive oil, chili, ginger, a big pinch of salt and several grinds of pepper. Mix gently to coat the watermelon in the marinade. Set aside for at least 20 minutes to marinate before serving (the salad can be refrigerated for up to 4 hours before serving).
