Easy to make; sweet and refreshing! I used two varieties of watermelon-seedless red and seedless yellow! Fresh mint from the garden, too! For the fruit-flavored vinegar, raspberry flavor was used. From Quick and Simple magazine with a few minor changes. Ingredients:
3 cups cubed red watermelon, seeded if necessary |
3 cups cubed yellow watermelon, seeded if necessary |
1/3 cup scallion, chopped |
1/3 cup red onion, diced small |
2 tablespoons fruit vinegar (white wine or white balsamic can be substituted instead) |
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil |
salt, to taste |
cracked black pepper, to taste |
2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, chopped |
2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped |
1 tablespoon garlic chives, minced |
Directions:
1. In a large salad bowl, combine the watermelon cubes, scallions and red onion.
2. In a small non-reactive bowl whisk together the vinegar and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Pour the vinaigrette over the melon mixture. Add the herbs and toss gently to coat.
4. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
