WATERMELON SALAD WITH FRIED SHALLOTS AND FISH SAUCE



Watermelon Salad With Fried Shallots and Fish Sauce image

This simple salad hinges on a classic Southeast Asian flavor combination: sweet-hot-savory. This recipe calls for watermelon, but you could also use pineapple, cantaloupe, green mango or pomelo, or even leftover grilled steak or poached shrimp, as the combination of dressing, herbs and fried shallots can enliven a wide range of flavors. But using a mortar and pestle instead of the food processor and seeking out palm sugar instead of substituting brown sugar is strongly suggested here. The recipe will make more dressing than you need, so feel free to experiment after getting used to it.

Provided by J. Kenji López-Alt

Categories     dinner, salads and dressings, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 medium garlic cloves
2 to 12 fresh Thai bird's-eye chiles (depending on how much heat you enjoy), stems trimmed (see Tip)
3 tablespoons palm sugar (see Tip)
1/4 cup fish sauce
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 cup homemade or store-bought fried shallots
3 pounds seedless watermelon (about 1 small or ¼ large), rind removed, cut into 1-inch chunks
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 small cucumber, halved lengthwise and cut into ½-inch slices
Large handful of roughly chopped mint leaves
Large handful of roughly chopped cilantro leaves
1/2 cup roughly crushed or chopped roasted peanuts

Steps:

  • Prepare the dressing: Combine garlic, chiles and sugar in the bowl of a large mortar and pestle. Pound into a fine paste. Add fish sauce and stir with the pestle until the sugar is fully dissolved. Add the lime juice and stir with the pestle to incorporate. Alternatively, you can combine the garlic, chiles, palm sugar (chop it into bits with a heavy knife or cleaver if it came in solid chunks), fish sauce and lime juice in a blender. Blend until the garlic and chiles are finely chopped, and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Prepare the salad: If using homemade shallots, skip to Step 3. If using store-bought shallots, toast them dry in a large skillet over medium-low heat until deep caramel brown and aromatic, about 3 minutes. (Alternatively, you can toast the shallots on a sheet tray in an oven or toaster oven at 375 degrees until deep caramel brown, about 6 minutes). Season generously with salt and transfer to a bowl.
  • Combine watermelon, onion, cucumber, mint, cilantro, peanuts, half of the fried shallots and ¼ cup dressing in a large bowl. Toss to combine. Taste and add more dressing as desired. (Excess dressing can be reserved in a sealed container in the fridge for up to two weeks.) Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with remaining shallots. Serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest ingredients possible. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad.
  • Use ripe avocado. This will make the salad creamy and delicious.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a light dressing. A heavy dressing will overpower the delicate flavors of the shrimp, watermelon, and avocado.
  • Serve the salad immediately. This will prevent the watermelon from becoming watery.

Conclusion:

Shrimp, watermelon, and avocado salad is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of sweet, salty, and creamy flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
