Serves: 4
\nDifficulty: easy
\nPreparation time: 1 hour 30 minutes (including pickling and marinating time)
\nCooking time: 5 minutes<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Pickled Red Onions
\n<\/strong>\u2154 C (160 ml) red wine vinegar
\n2 tsp (10 ml) brown sugar
\n2 tsp (10 ml) wholegrain mustard
\n1 tsp (5 ml) garlic, finely chopped
\n1 large red onion<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Marinated Feta
\n<\/strong>2 (140 g) rounds of feta, cubed
\n1 Tbsp (15 ml) sweet chilli sauce
\n2 tsp (10 ml) chives, finely chopped
\n1 tsp (5 ml) olive oil
\n1 tsp (5 ml) lemon juice
\npinch of salt and pepper<\/p>\n

Salad
\n<\/strong>40 g rocket
\n\u00bd cucumber, spiralized
\n\u00bc watermelon
\nhandful of basil leaves
\n1 avocado, diced
\n100 g roasted cashews
\nhandful of onion sprouts<\/p>\n

Pickled Red Onions
\n<\/strong>Heat the red wine vinegar, brown sugar, wholegrain mustard and garlic in a saucepan over medium heat. Once the mixture comes to the boil, cook for 1 minute. Cut the onion into paper-thin rounds and place into a jar. Pour the warm vinegar mixture over the sliced onions and leave to pickle for at least 1 hour, or overnight.<\/p>\n

Marinated Feta
\n<\/strong>Toss all the ingredients together, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

Salad<\/strong>
\nPlace the rocket and spiralized cucumber into a salad bowl. Use a melon baller to scoop out about 500 g of watermelon and scatter the balls on top. Add the feta and some of the pickled onions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scatter the basil, avocado, cashews and onion sprouts over the top of the salad and serve. Additional pickled onions can be served on the side.<\/p>\n

TIP:<\/strong> If you don\u2019t have a spiralizer to prepare the cucumbers, then use a vegetable peeler to make cucumber ribbons instead, or just slice into thin rounds.<\/p>\n
