Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

For the dressing:
⅓ cup lime juice (from about 3 juicy limes)
⅓ cup fish sauce
3 tablespoons thinly sliced cilantro stems
3 tablespoons finely chopped palm sugar or coconut sugar
½-inch knob fresh galangal, peeled and roughly sliced against the grain
1 large garlic clove, peeled
1 small moderately hot fresh red chile, such as Fresno or ripe red jalapeño, stemmed and roughly chopped
1 fresh red Thai chile, stemmed
For the salad:
2 pounds peeled watermelon
1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
6 cups mixed berries, halved if large
2 large lemongrass stalks trimmed, bruised, then very thinly sliced
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 big handfuls very lightly packed mixed herbs, such as mint leaves, Thai or Italian basil leaves, and small cilantro sprigs

Steps:

Make the dressing:
Combine all the dressing ingredients in a blender and blend on high speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. It keeps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Shake well before using.
Make the salad:
Cut the watermelon into 3 x 1 x 1-inch sticks, flicking out seeds as you go. You will have about 6 cups. Chill the watermelon in the fridge for at least an hour.
Combine the chilled watermelon and onion in a large mixing bowl and season all over with the flaky salt. Add the berries, lemongrass, and dressing, then toss gently but well. Drizzle on the olive oil, add the herbs, and gently toss once more. Transfer to a platter to serve.

Categories Lunch

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 small watermelon
1 cup balsamic vinaigrette
½ red onion, peeled, halved, and thinly sliced
¼ cup fresh mint leaf
¼ cup fresh basil leaf, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaf

Steps:

Using a sharp knife, cut off the top and bottom of the watermelon to reveal the red flesh and create flat surfaces on both sides. Stand the watermelon upright, and slice off the remaining peel so only the red core remains.
Cut the watermelon into roughly 1-inch (2-cm) cubes and transfer to a large bowl.
In a medium pot over high heat, bring the balsamic vinegar to a boil and reduce until roughly ¼ cup (60 ml) remains and the vinegar has thickened significantly, about 10 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and set aside to cool.
Arrange the watermelon cubes on a plate or place in a large bowl.
Arrange the red onion, mint leaves, drops of balsamic reduction, basil, and thyme decoratively over the watermelon. Or, if using a bowl, toss the watermelon, onion, and herbs together, then drizzle with balsamic reduction.
Enjoy!
