Watermelon salad
Ingredients
Salad:
- 1 whole watermelon, sliced in big circles (* easier to cut this way, later into cubes)
- 2 English cucumbers
- 1 bunch of basil
- 1 bunch of mint
- 1 bunch of parsley
- 1 bunch of chives
- 900 grams cherry tomato
Salad dressing:
- 1/4 cup lemon
- 2 avocados
- 1 cup of olive oil
- 150 milliliters white wine vinegar
- 1 cup of arugula
- 1 bunch of tarragon
Directions
- Grill the large wedges of watermelon, one minute each side (you'll know it is done when the sugars start to caramelize showing grill marks).
- Remove watermelon from grill, cool, and chop into smaller cubes.
- Toss watermelon with all other salad ingredients.
- Toss salad with dressing; it should be thick enough to coat the watermelon.
Dressing:
- Chop all ingredients.
- In a blender or food processor, mix all ingredients but the olive oil.
- Once everything is puréed, slowly add the olive oil.
- You can also do this with a whisk; pre chop the herbs with a knife if doing by hand. Everything is mixed in a bowl, with a whisk until nice and smooth.
- The avocado should just fall smooth and purée with a whisk, leaving it a bit chunky.
- The dressing should be nice and thick to coat all the watermelon.
