When you enjoy watermelon, this is your new summer salad. This simple recipe for watermelon salad has classic Mediterranean flavors such as a spicy crumbled feta and fresh mint. Approximately chopped pistachios, slightly pickled shallots and a splash of olive oil taste it incredible.
The layer method could look like this salad, but it is easy to create and delivers a breathtaking display. Take your largest record for this recipe so that the ingredients can be distributed and drawn evenly without stirring. The composition of this salad avoids the aqueous watermelon, an messy feta situation that plagues many watermelon salads.
This watermelon salad was inspired by a one that we tried in Tampa last summer. I liked the pistachios that were sprinkled about it. They offered the perfect crunch and the green color was beautiful with the bright red watermelon.
I am still obsessed with the shallot soaked with vinegar that I used on this watermelon salad with herb yogurt sauce, and it worked just as well here. The shallots are slightly inserted, so they are lively but less sharp, and a drizzle of the remaining vinegar brightens the entire salad.
Isn’t it nice? This beautiful salad will surely be a hit on their summer celebrations.
How to choose your watermelon
Start with a great watermelon to make the best watermelon salad. It is a crap to cut into a watermelon and find pale, aromatic fruits. I am part of the Sugar Baby Marriage variety, which you can see in these photos. Sugar baby is almost firm from the outside, dark green, often almost core, with a wonderfully sweet taste.
If you select a watermelon, look for one, that is,:
- Difficult for its size
- Boring, not shiny
- Evenly shaped
- Dark green, with a yellow to orange “field stain”, which indicates that it has matured sufficiently on the vine (the more the yellow-or-colored color, the better)
Use for remaining watermelon
For this recipe you need half a small watermelon (3 pounds, or approximately 4 cups). Our toddler Loved Watermelon, so she takes care of the remains for us.
