Cool, Calm, Collected
It's time to dive into the coolest salad of the season! While this salad might be trendy and stylish, what we really mean is that this salad is your passport to staying cool and refreshed all summer long. Sweet watermelon is incredibly hydrating (comprised of about 92% water), helping to replenish fluids while providing a refreshing juicy texture that instantly cools you down. Cucumbers, with their crisp texture and high water content, have the exact same effect! Once those taste buds hone into the cooling sensation of menthol from the fresh mint leaves in the dressing, your sweat glands don't stand a chance. The salad is then topped with crumbled feta cheese and our candied pumpkin seeds. The feta cheese offers the perfect contrast to the sweet ingredients in this meal with its tangy and salty qualities.
Fruit-Forward
What we love the most about this salad is how fruit-forward it is. It showcases the best of summer seasonal produce! To infuse the dressing with an extra layer of fruity goodness, we incorporate a generous portion of fresh strawberries. These gems are blended into a luscious syrup, adding a burst of vibrant colour and natural sweetness to the vinaigrette. To further enhance the refreshing qualities of the salad, we introduce a hint of fresh mint leaves to the mix. The mint imparts a cool, invigorating flavour that perfectly complements the sweetness of the strawberries and the acidity of the balsamic vinegar. We also use white balsamic vinegar, which is less intense than regular balsamic vinegar, making it perfect for this light summer dish. Together, these carefully selected ingredients create a dressing that is both luxurious and refreshing, perfectly suited to accompany the crisp, juicy flavours of the Summer Watermelon Salad Recipe!
