With peak-season produce, you don't need many flavor embellishments-in this case, just a little cheese, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and a sprinkling of salt. Ingredients:
6 cups (1/2-inch) cubed seedless watermelon |
2 cups chopped trimmed watercress (about 1 bunch) |
3/4 cup (3 ounces) crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese |
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion |
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil |
3 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh mint |
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Place all ingredients in a large bowl; toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
2. Wine note: There's no better match for this refreshing watermelon salad than a chilled dry rosé. Both are cold, pink, crisp, and fruity-a magical marriage that's a must-try this summer. Two of my favorite rosés, one still, the other sparkling: Robert Hall Rosé de Robles 2005 from Paso Robles, California ($15) and Korbel Brut Rosé Sparkling Wine (nonvintage) from California ($11). -Karen MacNeil
