Watermelon Salad Recipe Ingredients:
6 cups crappy, unsweet, seedless WATERMELON
1 Tbsp fresh MINT (chopped)
¼ cup RED ONION (chopped)
¼ cup FETA CHEESE crumbles
½ cup toasted ALMOND SLIVERS
dressing:
¼ cup BALSAMIC VINEGAR
2 Tbsp OLIVE OIL
1 Tbsp DIJON MUSTARD
1 Tbsp MAPLE SYRUP (or substitute honey)
1 clove GARLIC (minced)
SALT and PEPPER to taste
Watermelon Salad Directions:
This salad works best with a seedless melon--'cause it's a salad--and no one wants to dig seeds out of a salad.
Wash your melon and cut away the rind. Slice the red flesh into hearty, but mouth-sized pieces. If it's sweet--then you're set! Chow down, because that's what a melon is for! --but if it's not sweet, if it's a flavorless lump that sits in your mouth like play-doh, then don't despair...it's salad time.
First thing, make the dressing.
In a small bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, dijon mustard, maple syrup (or substitue honey), garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix together and set aside.
In a larger bowl combine cut watermelon pieces, mint, red onion, feta cheese, and almond slivers. I've suggested some ingredient measurements--but that's just a loose guideline, man. It's a salad...follow your heart (and taste buds).
Add salad dressing to taste and toss.
Boom.
That's it, dude.
Your crappy melon has been transformed into a delicious salad.
