Ingredients

  • 75g caster sugar
  • 6 slices cucumber
  • ½ small watermelon, sliced into wedges and rind removed
  • handful pomegranate seeds
  • 1 lime, juice

Method

  1. Put the sugar and 150ml water in a small pan; warm over a medium heat until the sugar has dissolved, then turn up the heat and simmer for 6-8 minutes, until syrupy. Add the cucumber, 3 mint sprigs and a pinch of salt; cool, then chill. This can be made up to 48 hours in advance.

  2. When ready to serve, arrange the watermelon on a plate. Sieve the syrup into a jug; discard the cucumber and mint. Stir in the pomegranate seeds, crushing a few with the back of a spoon to release the juices. Stir in the lime juice, then spoon over the watermelon. Pick the mint leaves from the last sprig; scatter over the salad to serve.
