Notes

An original light summer salad with a luxurious character. This melon salad with smoked salmon, mint, dill and a hint of chilli is a flavourful and elegant dish that is perfect on warm days. Serve this as a starter or turn it into a full salad as a side dish.

The combination of sweet, salty and a touch spicy makes every bite exciting and refreshing.

This salad allows three types of melon to shine – think watermelon, honeydew melon and cantaloupe – each with its own texture and sweetness. The smoked salmon adds a salty touch, while the fresh herbs and honey dressing provide balance and character. The chilli flakes add just a little spiciness without being overpowering. I first ate the combination of spicy and sweet in Guatemala. There, mango was served with spicy chilli and paprika…
