Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
1 tsp. fish sauce
1 tsp. finely grated peeled ginger (from one 1" piece)
1 tsp. light brown sugar
1 serrano chile, thinly sliced
1/2 medium honeydew melon (about 2 lb.), seeds and rind removed, flesh cut into wedges, wedges halved crosswise
3 small Persian cucumbers, sliced on a diagonal 1/4" thick
1 avocado, peeled, thinly sliced
1/4 cup mint leaves
1/4 cup salted, dry-roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped
Flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Whisk vinegar, fish sauce, ginger, and brown sugar in a large bowl to combine. Add chile and let sit 10 minutes.
  • Add melon, cucumbers, and avocado and toss to coat. Transfer to a platter; top with mint and peanuts and sprinkle with salt.

Tips:

  • To select ripe pears, look for fruits that give slightly to gentle pressure and have a sweet aroma.
  • If you don't have a salad spinner, you can dry the lettuces by patting them between layers of paper towels or clean dish towels.
  • To save time, you can buy pre-sliced almonds or chopped hazelnuts.
  • If you don't have crystallized ginger, you can substitute candied ginger or finely chopped fresh ginger.
  • Make sure to use good quality olive oil for the dressing to get the best flavor.
  • The salad is best served immediately after assembling, as the lettuce can wilt if it sits for too long.
