  3. I watched this video the other day and immediately went to store to get all ingredients…as it is August, watermelon was plentiful. I made the salad for dinner. We loved it. The next day, my husband asked it we could have it again for dinner (side dish).

  4. In my watermelon 🍉 salad I first soak red onions 🌰 (in cold water approx 10 minutes) to rid the sharp taste. I use chopped mint, crumbled Feta Cheese, & balsamic glaze as a dressing. The sweet of the watermelon, the salty of the feta, the tang of the onions & the brightness of the Chopped mint 😋 brings it all together. It's refreshing on a summer's ☀️ day.

  7. This dish was really quite good. Had to drain a good amount of the dressing off before serving and so the toppings would stick instead of float in the marinade, but otherwise I would thoroughly recommend to anyone. Will definitely be a part of our summer rotation

  9. Yikes! Always wash your hands well after you handle hot chili peppers like Serranos, Jalepenos, Poblanos, Anchos… take it from me. I forgot once and I will never forget again. I hope. I wish that they had mentioned that.

  19. No a fan of this combo way to oniony the cilantro over powers it too .
    Next time Im going to try basil or Mint .
    Can you grill the melon as wonder if grilled Halloumi would good on the grilled watermelon steak ??

  31. Time for Americans to start using their watermelon rinds. Peel off the skin, segment and slice away the red from the green rind, and also put rind portions into the watermelon salad (!). The rind potentially has more healthy and nutritious minerals, amino acids, especially citrulline, and should start being eaten and used from now on. Leave nothing to waste – no wonder the pigs eating the watermelon scraps are so healthy and fit !!!
