CUCUMBER MELON CAPRESE SALAD

Serves 2 (appetizer)

8 thin slices cantaloupe

255g cucumber, thinly sliced

Large handful arugula greens, stems removed

Small handful basil leaves, torn into large pieces

Small handful mint leaves, torn into large pieces

1tbsp olive oil, plus extra for drizzling

3tsp white wine vinegar

170g fresh mozzarella, drained, halved and sliced

In a large bowl, combine the melon and cucumber slices with the arugula, basil and mint. Drizzle the olive oil and 2tsp vinegar over the top, and season well. Use your hands to gently toss the components together. Taste, adding more vinegar and/ or salt, until the flavours pop.

For stacked salads, make a ring with 2 each of the melon slices. Top with the cucumber slices, a quarter of the mozzarella, and a mound of greens. Repeat to make 2 layers of each ingredient. Drizzle a little more olive oil, salt and pepper over the top. Serve right away, preferably with a glass of crisp white wine.
