MELON AND AVOCADO SALAD WITH FENNEL AND CHILE



Melon and Avocado Salad With Fennel and Chile image

This sweet-savory, crunchy-creamy dish nods to California summers, when a drive to the market can often end with avocados and melons buckled in the back seat. The recipe is simple, and instantly impressive: It involves little more than scooping out the fresh fruit and topping it with a spicy-sweet pinch of sugar and a drizzle of dressing. Rubbing toasted fennel seeds, red-pepper flakes and lemon zest into sugar and salt helps their floral kick travel far. The salad's balance depends on your melon and avocado, so rely on taste more than measurements here. Adjust the ingredients as needed, until the salad is rich, punchy and bright, bite after bite.

Categories     brunch, dinner, easy, lunch, weeknight, salads and dressings, appetizer, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 teaspoons fennel seeds
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 lemon, for zesting and juicing
1/2 medium cantaloupe or honeydew melon (about 2 1/2 pounds), seeds removed
2 ripe avocados
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed

Steps:

  • In a small skillet over medium-low, toast the fennel seeds and red-pepper flakes, shaking the pan occasionally, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer them to a cutting board, then smash with a heavy pan until the fennel seeds break apart. (You can also do this using a mortar and pestle.)
  • Transfer the mixture to a small bowl, then add the salt, sugar and 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest. Rub the mixture with your fingers until you smell the lemon.
  • Using a soup spoon, scoop out small spoonfuls of the melon and place them directly on a serving platter. Halve the avocados and remove the pit. Using the soup spoon, scoop out small spoonfuls of avocado and place on top of the melon.
  • Drizzle the fruit with 2 teaspoons lemon juice, then sprinkle with some of the fennel-chile mixture. (Start with half of it, then add more to taste.) Drizzle with the olive oil, then taste and adjust acid (with lemon juice), richness (with oil), and salt and sweetness (with fennel mixture) until it tastes fresh and bright. Serve right away.

GREEK-STYLE WATERMELON SALAD



Greek-Style Watermelon Salad image

It's not an immediately obvious combination - watermelon, cucumber, olives and feta - but one bite will leave you convinced that this savory-sweet summer salad is something truly special. The astringent punch of the olives and feta provides a sophisticated counterpoint to the watery mellowness of the melon and cucumber. With a hunk of bread, it's a lovely light lunch; with practically any grilled meat or fish, it's an ideal summer supper.

13 MELON SALADS THAT SCREAM PEAK SUMMER | BON APPéTIT

From bonappetit.com
Author Bon Appétit
Published Jun 4, 2019
  • Cantaloupe With Sugar Snap Peas and Ricotta Salata. Salty and sweet, crunchy and juicy, this throw-it-together summer side has it all. View Recipe.
  • Tomato-Watermelon Salad With Turmeric Oil. Red, juicy, and sweet, tomatoes and watermelon are soul mates, and they both need salt, spice, and fat to reach their full potential.
  • Melon Panzanella. In this unexpected take on panzanella, chunks of ripe melon take the place of tomatoes. But the unexpected star is the brine from the Peppadew peppers: Spicy, sweet, and tart, it combines with the melon's juices and soaks into the toasted bread.
  • Honeydew, Jicama, and Mango Salad. Don’t worry about removing all of the melon seeds in this take on the popular Mexican street snack—they’re edible and add a little crunch.
  • Honeydew Salad with Ginger Dressing and Peanuts. Just the side your barbecue ribs are looking for, this all-green salad gets a kick from serrano, ginger, and just a hint of fish sauce.
  • Watermelon, Endive, and Fig Salad. Perfect as either a side salad or a cocktail hour snack platter, you’re going to want to keep serving this mix of complementary sweet and salty and crunchy and soft bites all summer long.
  • Watermelon With Lime Dressing and Peanuts. The jagged, irregular chunks of fruit in this salad recipe make it clear that something unexpected is about to happen.
  • Cantaloupe and Cucumber Salad. Savory fruit salads are officially a thing. (And, for the record, cucumber is a fruit.) View Recipe.
  • Watermelon and Prosciutto with Mint and Toasted Almonds. Watermelon and prosciutto may seem like an unlikely pair, but the salty-sweet mix will make this your new go-to fruit salad.
  • Honeydew and Fennel Salad With Basil. If you have a perfectly ripe melon—great! If you don’t, no worries. The salt, acid, and a bit of heat here will give life to lackluster specimens.
