Watermelon Salad With Radishes and Mint image

If your watermelon isn't very sweet, force it to be savory by adding peppery radishes and a quick vinaigrette. With mint strewn all over, it's super-refreshing.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 bunch red radishes, cut into ⅛-inch slices
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
½ red onion, cut into thin slivers
4½ pounds watermelon (1/4 of a large melon), rind removed, flesh cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons torn mint leaves

Steps:

  • Dissolve a spoonful of salt in a large bowl of ice and water. Add the radishes and let sit for a few minutes to crisp.
  • Whisk the vinegar, oil, and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Drain the radishes and add to the bowl, along with the onion and watermelon.
  • Gently toss with your hands to coat evenly.
