What's the watermelon doing in this recipe? That's what I asked myself too, but it's an awfully good combination! I've made this several times, and it's based off of a recipe I cut out of the NY Times a while ago. Really nice for a spring or summer side dish. Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups seedless watermelon, cut in 1 inch cubes or balls (reserve juice) |
1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes or 1 1/2 cups grape tomatoes, halved |
1/2 cup goat cheese or 1/2 cup stilton cheese or 1/2 cup gorgonzola or 1/2 cup roquefort cheese, crumbled |
1/2 cup scallion, minced |
salt |
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil |
2 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar |
1 pinch cayenne |
1/2 cup cilantro or 1/2 cup parsley, roughly chopped |
Directions:
1. Combine watermelon, tomato, cheese, scallions and salt in a bowl.
2. Whisk together 2 tablespoons of watermelon juice, oil, vinegar and cayenne and gently toss with salad.
3. Garnish with cilantro or parsley.
