HOT MELON SALAD

Steps:

• Heat a large saute pan or wok over high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the olive oil, followed by the onion, and saute for 1 to 2 minutes, moving the pan continually. Add the melon and saute for another 1 to 2 minutes or until the melon starts to take on color. Add the basil, salt, and pepper and continue to cook for another minute. Add the vinegar to the pan and toss to combine. Pour mixture onto a serving platter, sprinkle with the cheese and pine nuts, and serve immediately.

TOMATO & MELON SALAD

Steps:

• Gently combine the melon, cucumber, tomatoes and herbs in a large bowl. Mix the olive oil and mint sauce with some seasoning, then pour over the other ingredients and stir again to coat in the mint dressing. Serve chilled, with slices of toasted baguette, rubbed with a fresh cut garlic clove if you like.

WATERMELON SALAD WITH FRESH HERBS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, cut off the top and bottom of the watermelon to reveal the red flesh and create flat surfaces on both sides. Stand the watermelon upright, and slice off the remaining peel so only the red core remains.
• Cut the watermelon into roughly 1-inch (2-cm) cubes and transfer to a large bowl.
• In a medium pot over high heat, bring the balsamic vinegar to a boil and reduce until roughly ¼ cup (60 ml) remains and the vinegar has thickened significantly, about 10 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and set aside to cool.
• Arrange the watermelon cubes on a plate or place in a large bowl.
• Arrange the red onion, mint leaves, drops of balsamic reduction, basil, and thyme decoratively over the watermelon. Or, if using a bowl, toss the watermelon, onion, and herbs together, then drizzle with balsamic reduction.
• Enjoy!
