Darina Allen: my summer salad with watermelon, tomato, radish and summer herbs

"As ever, I urge you to think about planting some of your own fruit and can you imagine the joy of picking cherries from your very own cherry tree?"

Darina Allen's watermelon salad

This week, I thought I would pick just three glorious summer fruits - and share a salad recipe with one of them.

I love cherries, but mostly I love to eat them fresh, rather than cooked. That’s unless, of course, one can find morello cherries which make the most delicious pies. They are smaller and far more tart but cook deliciously with a bittersweet flavour.
