WATERMELON SALAD
Recipe from a restaurant called Iron Barley here in St. Louis. They say this recipe is for 2 dinner size entree portions. If you are going to serve it as a side dish it will serve 4, but they recommend you cut the watermelon in smaller pieces if doing smaller salads. Cooking time is actually marinating time. NOTE: I served just the marinated watermelon as a side dish (didn't put it atop greens nor did I use onions) and it was great with BBQ meat!!!

Steps:
- Mix first six ingredients in a deep-sided bowl. Drizzle and whisk the olive oil into the mixture to emulsify. Set aside.
- Mix the watermelon and red onion together in a large bowl.
- Pour the dressing over the melon, turning to coat all sides. Return it to the refrigerator and let the melon marinate for 20 minutes or less. NOTE: I cut my melon very small and it was best after about 5 minutes in the marinade!
- Layer the field greens on a small dinner plate.
- Place the chunks of watermelon (allowing some of the dressing to transfer to the lettuce) and the onion in the center of the greens.
- Grind pepper to taste over the salad.
