Cook on the barbecue if weather permits, but it's also lush under the grill and can be done in minutes. Spice up your weeknight and treat yourself to some autumnal comfort...

Watermelon & tomato summer salad

There's really no wrong way to do it—which is what we love in a recipe. It can as simple as watermelon, EVOO, and basil, or you can lean into a theme. We've gone Greek (surprise) to balance out the sweetness with the bitterness of the Kalamata olives and oil. However you prefer it, EAT THIS NOW because the window for these flavours is small.
