Watermelon, sweet melon and goat’s cheese salad

Ingredients:

• 1/4 seedless watermelon
• 1/2 sweet melon
• 2 avocados
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 2 oranges
• 2 Lebanese cucumbers, peeled, seeds removed, chopped
• 1 long green chili, seeds removed, thinly sliced
• Pinch of castor sugar

5. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, then whisk to combine.
6. Add the avocado to the melon mixture, then pour over half the dressing and gently toss to combine.
