Watermelon!

Watermelon ice cream is the shit as well. My Mom makes it. She makes a wicked watermelon margarita to.

Just because one thread will simply never do.

We need more Watermelon discussions.

Obviously.

The Wife made watermelon salad the other day. I was skeptical at first, but it was pretty good.


Ingredients

1 (5-pound) watermelon
1 Vidalia or other sweet onion
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
6 whole mint sprigs

Directions

Cut the flesh from the melon and cut into bite size pieces, removing and discarding the seeds, and set aside. Peel and slice the onion into rings.

In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, salt, pepper, and whisk until salt is dissolved. Slowly whisk in the olive oil, a few drops at a time. Add in the chopped mint, taste, and adjust seasonings.

In a large bowl, combine the melon, onion, and feta. Pour the dressing over the melon mixture and toss gently until everything is coated and evenly mixed. Garnish with mint sprigs.

To serve, divide salad among individual plates and garnish with mint leaves.

That salad SOUNDS like the bomb on a warm summer evening.

It is. Especially after being out in the heat and humidity.
