Well, this baby is getting so big that I’m worrying about Jane’s comfort. A mini watermelon? Ack! 19 inches. When you think of watermelon there are not a ton of things you can do with them. Popsicles? Meh. So, I went with a refreshing salad. We gobbled this right up!
Ingredients:
Salad
5 cups cubed watermelon
1 cup diced English cucumber
½ cup thinly sliced red onion
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
⅓ cup torn fresh basil leaves
1 jalapeño or serrano pepper, thinly sliced, optional
Salt, to taste
Dressing:
1 tablespoon olive oil
5 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, garlic and salt.
Arrange the watermelon, cucumber, and red onions on a large plate or platter. Drizzle with half the dressing. Top with the feta, avocado, mint, and serrano pepper, if using, and drizzle with remaining dressing. Season to taste and serve.
