500g firm honeydew melon, peeled, seeds removed

1 white onion, thinly sliced

1 long green chilli, thinly sliced

4 x 100g buffalo mozzarella (or 2 x 250g buffalo mozzarella, halved)

Honey Dressing 

2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

To make the honey dressing, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, mirin, honey, oil and garlic. Season well with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside for the garlic to infuse.

Place all the cucumber slices in a large bowl and season well.

Using a vegetable peeler or mandolin, thinly slice the honeydew. Add the honeydew slices, onion and green chilli to the cucumber slices and gently toss to combine.

When ready to serve, remove the garlic clove from the dressing and pour over the salad. Serve topped with mint and pepper.
