What’s better than watermelon in the summer?
Christina puts her own twist on a watermelon salad – sweet & savory. Here’s a super easy and super delicious watermelon salad recipe for your next outdoor party:
Portion: 8
Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
- One seedless watermelon
- Two seedless cucumbers
- Two medium shallots
- One bunch of mint
- Dressing
- Half a cup of balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup evoo
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
I use a melon baller to get the watermelon in small bite-size pieces, but you can always chop it up into pieces instead.
I like to layer half the watermelon, cucumber, shallots, and mint then put on the dressing and repeat with the rest of the ingredients. Let everything marinade for about 15 to 20 minutes, toss, and serve chilled.
This is hands-down my favorite thing after a warm summer day by the pool or beach side. It’s super refreshing, plus it helps re-hydrate after being out in the sun. If you think it sounds like a weird combo of stuff, don’t worry, it works!
If you don’t believe me just ask Adam at the front desk in Eastown (getting him to share this salad is not easy). Enjoy and as always, eat well and do yoga!
