1. In a small bowl whisk the oil and vinegar and set aside.

2. In a large bowl toss the watermelon, peaches, basil and spinach until mixed. Add the oil and vinegar dressing and transfer to a serving dish.

3. Crush the hazelnuts with the flat side of a knife or place in a small resealable bag and bash with a rolling pin. Scatter hazelnuts over the salad and serve.

Tip:

To add a salty, creamy element, try adding some crumbled feta cheese just before serving.
