strawberry watermelon salad

By mhyde

Ingredients

• 1/2 watermelon
• 6-8 strawberries
• 3-4 mint leaves
• salt pinch
• honey lime vinaigrette (below)
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/2 teaspoon lime peel
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg or cinnamon
• 3/4 cup salad oil

Preparation

Step 1

Cut the watermelon into cubes and place in large bowl.
Hull and slice the strawberries and add to the watermelon.
Cut the mint leaves into slivers and sprinkle on top
Add a pinch of salt
Vinaigrette Instructions:
In a small mixing bowl combine the honey, lime peel, lime juice and nutmeg.
Whisk to mix ingredients, add half of the oil to honey mixture in a thin steady stream. Continue whisking till mixture is thick, add more oil until you reach desired flavor.
Drizzle over the watermelon and serve.
Once you’ve made the vinaigrette pour it into an air tight container and drizzle over your watermelon strawberry salad. You can store the remaining dressing in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Use it to make Strawberry Spinach Salad, another one of our families favorites, or marinate chicken in the dressing for 2-3 hours before grilling it.
