Method

Slice the spring onion and dress it with salt and a few drops of red wine vinegar. Half the watermelon slices and trim them to make eight squares the size of a small sandwich. Grill the watermelon on both sides. Cut each watermelon square into 2 triangles: on 8 of the triangles put a slice of feta and a slice of red onion. Top each sandwich with the 8 remaining triangles and put 2 triangles on individual serving plates for each portion. Place a lettuce leaf on each plate and lay the sandwiches on top.

Chop the tomato finely, dress it with the crushed garlic, a pinch of salt, a few drops of white wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons of oil and the chili pepper.  Drizzle the tomato dressing on the sandwiches and garnish with basil leaves.
Decorate each plate with a few lettuce leaves, 2 pitted olives and the capers. Enjoy!
