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 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!
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.
I know, right? My gran would have used the watermelon rinds for watermelon pickle, such great childhood memories around watermelon and this a new memory eh?
Not as hot as some chili peppers, but they vary with the season and the growing conditions. Even if you try a little bit and decide that the ones you have are too hot for this salad, you can roast them a bit to mellow them out. Letting them rest in the dressing like they do also helps.
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
co - tea - HA is the cheese cotiya (actually cotilla) in Spanish is a rarely used word for the nosy person that likes to gossip thanks for the recipe Lan, i can almost taste it! the sweet watermelon with the salty cotija and is orange spicy rind plus the serrano amazing
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 ??
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.
