Ingredients

¼ tsp cumin seed
¼ tsp coriander seed
200g block feta cheese (you can use light if you prefer), halved
a little olive oil
2 handfuls mixed salad leaves
small handful flat-leaf parsley , roughly chopped
2 mint sprigs, leaves picked
2 large pitta breads , quartered
175g pack watermelon chunks, or equivalent whole chunk), chopped into small pieces
juice 2 limes
1 red chilli , finely chopped
½ red onion , finely chopped

Steps:

Using a pestle and mortar, crush the cumin and coriander seeds with a coarse grinding of pepper. Sit the feta on a plate, sprinkle over the spice mix - turning the feta so all sides are coated - and finish with a little olive oil. Set aside.
Mix the salsa ingredients together and season. Mix together the salad leaves, parsley and mint.
Brush the pittas with a little more oil and pop under a grill to heat through. Put a block of feta each on 2 plates, and serve with a spoonful of salsa, salad and pitta.
