WATERMELON, RADISH AND AVOCADO SALAD



Watermelon, Radish and Avocado Salad image

Watermelon works beautifully in summer salads, especially when paired with savory or bitter ingredients to balance its fragrant sweetness. This recipe is no exception. Adding radishes, arugula and diced avocado creates a mixture of contrasting flavors and textures that's colorful, refreshing and fun to eat. The dressing here is nothing more than olive oil and vinegar, but it becomes tangy-sweet when it mingles with the fresh watermelon juice. This salad happens to be vegan, and the avocados provide plenty of richness, but a sprinkle of shaved ricotta salata would be a nice addition, if you are so inclined. Finally, while you can make the dressing and prepare the watermelon, shallots and radishes in advance, wait to assemble and dress the salad until just before serving. Watermelon, as the name suggests, has a high water content and will start to release its juices the second the dressing is added.

Time 10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound 3/4-inch cubed watermelon, chilled (about 3 1/2 cups)
1 cup very thinly sliced radishes (4 to 5 radishes)
1 large shallot, thinly sliced
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon champagne or white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal), plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
2 1/2 ounces baby arugula (about 4 cups)
2 firm-ripe avocados, halved, pitted and diced
1/3 cup torn fresh mint or basil leaves
Shaved ricotta salata (optional)

Steps:

  • Place the watermelon, radishes and shallots in a large serving bowl. In a glass measuring cup or small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, salt and black pepper.
  • Just before serving, pour half of the dressing over the watermelon, radishes and shallots, and toss well. Add the arugula, the avocado and the rest of the dressing, and toss gently. Top with the fresh mint or basil and ricotta salata, if using. Season with more salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe ingredients: Use ripe watermelon and avocado for the best flavor and texture. Ripe watermelon should have a deep red color and a sweet smell. Ripe avocado should be slightly soft to the touch and have a dark green or black skin.
  • Chop the ingredients evenly: Chop the watermelon, avocado, cucumber, and red onion into small, even pieces. This will help the salsa to mix evenly and make it easier to eat.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh cilantro and mint add a bright, herbaceous flavor to the salsa. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but they won't be as flavorful.
  • Adjust the spice level to your liking: If you like spicy salsa, add a jalapeño or serrano pepper. If you don't like spicy food, omit the pepper or use a milder variety, such as a poblano pepper.
  • Serve the salsa immediately: Watermelon salsa is best served immediately after it's made. The watermelon will start to release its juices over time, which will make the salsa watery.

Conclusion:

Watermelon salsa is a refreshing and flavorful salsa that's perfect for summer gatherings. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Serve it with chips, tacos, or grilled meats.
