I know you're going to think I straight up lost my mind...but trust me. THIS IS AMAZING.
One of my all time favorite restaurants is Purple Pig in Chicago. The food there is just outrageously good.
Ingredients:
Watermelon Slices
Lime Zest
Fresh Mint
Firm Cheese of Your Choice
Kosher or Sea Salt
Olive Oil
Ok this is super easy. Finely chop a few leaves of fresh mint and mix with some fresh lime zest (exact measurements don't matter). Drizzle a little olive oil on top, and then finish with freshly grated cheese and sea salt. I can't describe to you how good this is. I have an idea. So you don't have to make individual servings, this Labor Day, do the exact same thing, but use fresh watermelon chunks and make a salad. YOWZA. I'm a smart cookie. Stay hungry!
I never would have thought it...but this looks delicious! I had a savoury watermelon salad years ago that was good in theory (watermelon, feta, grapes, red onion, mint) , but the onion took over the whole thing and put me off of savoury watermelon forever. I might just wade back in with this recipe, though! Seems like feta would work well here too, no?
