Very refreshing! I crumbled feta on top to make more of a meal. Also subbed a baby courgette for the cucumber.

question

can i make the tomato and melon salad in advance.

A few hours, definitely, the herbs will develop the flavour. Much longer than this, I'm not sure

Left put the mint as I hate it but used basil instead. Lovely light salad, but certainly does not provide 5 portions of fruit and veg.

Lovely flavours added some pomegranate as well for an extra crunch.
