The melon cools the spice in this fresh, lively summer salad. We like it with shrimp, but it's also good with grilled calamari. Ingredients:
1 pound cleaned, deveined medium shrimp (24 to 30 per lb.), poached |
1 1/2 cups fresh basil leaves |
1 1/2 cups fresh mint leaves |
1 1/2 cups fresh cilantro leaves |
1/4 cup slivered red onion |
1/2 serrano chile, sliced thinly |
3 cups sliced honeydew or galia melon wedges |
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice |
1 tablespoon sugar |
2 tablespoons vietnamese fish sauce |
1/2 cup roasted, salted cashews |
Directions:
1. Toss shrimp, herbs, onion, chile, and melon together in a large bowl. Mix together juice, sugar, and fish sauce, then pour over salad. Top with cashews.
