Beautiful
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).
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.
This looks amazing, I wonder if using Tajin would work!
This salad is great paired with spicy grilled/sauted shrimp! 😋
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
Thank you, do you ha ve a végane version ?
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.
Looks delicious 🙂 yummmm
Very important ?

I love it when you feature Lan. The way she cooks and explains each step makes you feel like she's a true expert. And she does it in a friendly, approachable way. Thank you!
I love watermelon with cayenne pepper and hint of salt .
Oil and water don't mix, but cheese and watermelon should not mix.
ATK,,,Hello, LAN,, I have to try this most unique idea, it surly looks fabulous & tasty,, THANKS,,,,,,🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yum
Don't want the heat use a jalapeno instead. What a mouthwatering recipe.
Lam is such a talented cook! What an addition to the team! I love her beef recipe with Hunger Pangs!
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 ??
I like everyone at ATK and Lan is without a doubt my favorite, she is graceful and elegant. She always share great ideas, I appreciate and I am grateful for her contribution. Thanks a Bunch!

cotiya (actually cotilla) in Spanish is a rarely used word for the nosy person that likes to gossip

Trust in Lam
Dear ATK,
Thanks for what you do.
Most interesting assortment of flavors.
Lan’s creations are always so delicious!💪💪💪😋😋😋
I'm going to make this with dinner this evening. Just the thing during a heat wave
Serranos aren’t too hot. Am interested in trying this recipe this summer. Thanks ladies! Thanks video guy!
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 !!!
I am definitely going to make this!
