You will need

Serves 4

Directions

20 mins to prep

  1. Step 1

    First, rinse the salted capers and then soak in fresh water; or if you would like to skip this step, you can use the capers in brine.

  2. Step 2

    Cut the rockmelon in half, scoop out the seeds, cut the skin off the rockmelon, and then slice on the cross-section about 2cm thick. (Full disclosure, they can be cut any way you like, but this is Simon’s favourite method!)

  3. Step 3

    Place the rockmelon on a plate and sprinkle with the hazelnuts, capers, plant-based feta, drizzle over the olive oil and the apple cider vinegar and serve.
