I invented this refreshing fruit salad one sultry afternoon while my friends were gathered around my pool. It was quick to prepare and disappeared from their plates even quicker. Even the kids loved it! -Antoinette DuBeck, Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania

WATERMELON WITH PARMESAN AND MINT



Watermelon with Parmesan and Mint image

Watermelon chunks in savory salads have been all the rage in the past few years, but we wanted a way to retain the fruit's best trait: how enjoyable it is to eat out of hand on a hot day. These wedges, sprinkled with salt, pepper, cheese, and heady fresh mint, are a light, refreshing start to a warm-weather meal. And they leave your other hand free to hold a drink or chase after the kids.

Yield Makes 12 hors d'oeuvre servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (4-lb) piece watermelon
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 oz Parmigiano-Reggiano, grated with a rasp (3/4 cup)
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint

Steps:

  • Cut watermelon lengthwise into narrow wedges about 1 1/2 inches wide, then cut wedges crosswise into 3/4-inch-thick slices (they will be tall and pointed). Trim rind to enable slices to stand upright.
  • Just before serving, stir together pepper and salt and sprinkle over slices. Stir together cheese and mint and sprinkle slices again.
