Red And Yellow Watermelon Salad Recipes

RED AND YELLOW WATERMELON SALAD

Steps:

• In a large salad bowl, combine the watermelon cubes, scallions and red onion.
• In a small non-reactive bowl whisk together the vinegar and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Pour the vinaigrette over the melon mixture. Add the herbs and toss gently to coat.
• Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.

YELLOW SQUASH & WATERMELON SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first 6 ingredients. Just before serving, add arugula and cheese; toss gently to combine.

MINTED WATERMELON SALAD

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, cut off rinds from watermelons. (You should have a total of 2 pounds peeled fruit.) Quarter each melon, and then cut into 3-inch-long, 1/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange slices on a serving platter.
• Using a vegetable peeler, shave paper-thin slices of ricotta salata over watermelon. Sprinkle with salt and mint, and serve immediately.

GINGERED WATERMELON AND YELLOW TOMATO SALAD

Steps:

• Remove rind and any seeds from watermelon. Cut fruit into 1 1/2-inch pieces and put in a large bowl. Cut tomatoes into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Add tomatoes and salt to watermelon, tossing to combine. Let mixture stand at cool room temperature 3 hours.
• In a colander set over a small saucepan drain mixture and transfer to a bowl. Simmer liquid until reduced to about 2 tablespoons and cool completely. Halve onion and thinly slice enough to measure 1/4 cup. Add onion to watermelon mixture. (For best results do not chill salad, as it will lose flavor.) In a small bowl stir together reduced watermelon-tomato juice, lime juice, gingerroot, and sugar.
• Just before serving, toss salad with juice mixture.
