1	Watermelon, or honeydew melon
2 tbsp	Lemon juice
4 tbsp	Olive oil
1 to taste	Salt & freshly ground pepper
300 g	Feta cheese
4 tbsp	Pomegranate molasses
1 bunch	Rocket leaves

Peel the watermelon and cut it into thick slices, removing as many seeds as possible without destroying the pieces. Do this over a bowl so you retain the juice. Cut the flesh into 4cm chunks, or use a melon baller to make small orbs, then place in the bowl with the juice.
Mix the lemon juice and olive oil, then season. Place the cheese in a food processor and blend until smooth, then add half the oil and lemon dressing. Toss the remaining dressing through the watermelon.
Rinse the rocket leaves, then shake dry. Gently mix through the watermelon and divide among your serving plates. Place spoonfuls of the whipped feta on top of the melon, then spoon the molasses over the top. Serve immediately.
