Watermelon Salad

I may from time to time offer links to products or services on my blog. If you click those links, and make a purchase from them, I might get some money to take a vacation...and, by take a vacation, I mean hop on my bike and hit the open road {trails around my house} or maybe attend a movie if it's been a good month.  Thank you for contributing to my bliss!

watermelon saladThis summer, we’ve decided to experiment with our salads.  We make a lot of veggie salads and, in some, have added grapes or raisins or craisins to add a touch of sweetness to it but that’s about it, in terms of what you’d think of as fruit.  I say “what you’d think of” because I know that technically a tomato is a fruit but we don’t think of it that way.  So the hubby and I have been researching recipes and here’s the first one we tried.  It was a big hit, in terms of flavor, once we got it all down.  I say that because the original recipe found here says things like “drizzle” and “pinch”…what is that really?  So we had to experiment.  We started slow and kept adding until the balance seemed just right.  The other thing I think is important to note is that, because of the watermelon, the salad was a bit soggy the next day.  I would definitely recommend making this shortly before you’ll be eating it and not necessarily choose to make extra.  We did eat it the next day and, flavor-wise, it was fine…just a big soggy.  We also leave the cherry tomatoes whole because the hubby doesn’t like soggy salads and never wants the tomatoes cut up because he says it makes a salad soggy.  I prefer to have them cut up so they are more bite size but it isn’t a big deal so we leave them whole.

We served this with grilled beef and veggie kabobs and corn on the cobb.  Delicious!

    This looks really yummy. I’m afraid we’ll have to wait another month or two before the watermelons ripen in our area. When they do, I’m not sure I’ll have the patience to make a salad, though — watermelon gets scarfed down fast here!

    This looks really good! I think I will add some walnuts or some sort of nuts. (I LOVE some sort of nuts in my salads) Have you ever tried it like that? Which do you think might work with this without getting too soggy?

    This sounds good. I agree with you on the soggy bit. What I do is pack my lettuce separate and then pack each of the sub-ingredients in containers. If they are dry, I can put them together but I keep my cherry tomatoes separated out because of their moisture. That way, I can have it over several days, but the wet bits don’t ruin the rest of it if they go bad faster.
