Beet Salad with Summer Melon and Feta

INGREDIENTS

1 cup summer melon, peeled, seeded and torn into bite size pieces (any melon will do, but I like the firmer texture of watermelon)

3 tbsp good quality feta
A few very thin slices of red onion, soaked in ice water
1 sprig each basil, parsley and mint
Sherry vinegar
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
Black pepper
