Watermelon Salad

By The Culinary Chase | August 5, 2009 |


Watermelon is a summer favorite of mine. Not only is it a thirst-quencher, watermelon may also help quench the inflammation that contributes to conditions like asthma, atherosclerosis, diabetes, colon cancer, and arthritis. Watermelon is an excellent source of vitamin C and a very good source of vitamin A.

watermelon, chopped into bite size chunks
goat cheese, chopped
fresh mint leaves
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
extra virgin olive oil

Place watermelon chunks onto a serving platter. Add chopped goat cheese, mint leaves and season with salt and pepper. Top with olive oil.

The Culinary Chase’s Note: This is such a fresh and delicious tasting salad. Perfect for those hot summer days. You can also slice the watermelon into thick slices and slice the goat cheese into thin slices. Beautiful!

    ooo sounds good – though not sure about the mint in my salad…can you use any other herb instead?!

    Watermelon works surprisingly well with cheese and mint is always a nice addition.

    Thanks Curious Cat & Kevin! Curious Cat – try the mint as it really helps to complete the overall flavor of this dish. If you don’t like mint, then try fresh tarragon. Cheers!
