OK, summer isn't too bad if you stay indoors a lot.
Watermelon salad.
ReplyDeleteOK, this falls under "cold foods," but to be specific:
Dice some watermelon and toss it with chopped red onion, crumbled feta cheese, a dash of balsamic vinegar and some kosher/coarse salt. YUM! (Even better if you let it sit a bit so the watermelon gets all onion-y.) I can't explain why this is so good, but it's sweet, salty, tangy... well, I guess that's it.
Some people put in greens (like cilantro or even arugala or baby spinach) or a bit of hot pepper (chop a jalapeno, maybe?). Others put in oil, but I really don't think it needs that. If you don't like, or don't have feta, I bet any other tangy salty cheese (ricotta salata, goat cheese, even blue cheese for those that like that) would work.
Mmmm, will you come and make it for us?
ReplyDeleteI don't want to go outside until the temp. cools! But come on over, I made plenty last night and it gets mushy after about 24 hours so we should eat it right now.
