Method

1. Mix the feta with the chilli, fennel seeds, garlic and enough of the oil to moisten the mixture. Season and add a pinch of sugar. Cover and set in a cool place for the flavours to meld.

2. Put the watermelon in a large shallow bowl and add the marinated feta and juices.

3. Scatter over the mint leaves, remaining olive oil, lemon juice and zest. Serve.
