Good for the new climate watermelon might be one among our favorite summer time meals. Once we are within the South of France, my father all the time retains an enormous plate stuffed with watermelon slices within the fridge for the youngsters to snack on.

Watermelon pairs not solely with candy meals but in addition with savoury meals resembling cheese, mint, tomatoes, rocket, berries, cucumber, fennel and lime.  Its refreshing texture is ideal uncooked in salads, desserts, lollies however it may also be loved grilled.

All the things is tossed in olive oil and lemon juice. To present it a bit of little bit of a kick I like so as to add some freshly chopped chillis on high.
