There are quite a few versions of this salad out there. Some love Nigella Lawson's version with black olives, but even though both my kids are olive addicts, I'm not a fan of the watermelon/ olive combination. Taste also does a version with a tangy lemon dressing you can find here, or another similar version with 1/2 a cup of pumpkin seeds for a bit of crunch. However, my favourite version still remains the above - simple, sweet and juicy.
