My sister from TN prepared this salad years ago and loved it! It's so refreshing and addicting. This salad is a must during summertime!
INGREDIENTS:
5 cups seedless watermelon diced
1/2 lbs. tomatoes seeded and diced
2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
freshly ground black pepper
1 medium red onions julienned thinly
cilantro or basil or parsley for garnish
PROCEDURE:
In a large bowl mix chopped watermelon and tomatoes.
Marinate with sugar and salt for 15 minutes.
Put in the refrigerator to chill.
After 15 minutes mix in red wine vinegar, olive oil and onions.
Keep chilled.
When ready to serve add freshly ground black pepper and garnish with chopped cilantro or basil or parsley. I have tried both cilantro and basil. I like both and i know parsley will taste good with the salad too, so you choose.
Garnished w/ Parsley...
Garnished w/ Cilantro..
Garnished with basil...
Interesting! I'm also curious about this watermelon and tomato soup I read, I thought of trying it soon! Maybe I could try this instead, looks refreshing! Happy weekend ahead of you!
ReplyDeleteHi, Lani! I hope you'll try this. I really, really love this salad esp. when it's chilled good. I also love the juice and treat it like "gazpacho".
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend too!
Thinking my family would eat a watermelon, I bought a huge one the other day. But alas, they are not interested hehehe... Now, this is something else, I will try this recipe the soonest! Thank you for sharing!
