Delicious Watermelon Salad for Summer

[@lelaniresnick3435]

I just discovered this guy two days ago. He's so weird and I love it! "Whisk whisk whisk. Aaaaahhhh-mazing!" Adorbs! He has me actually going to attempt to make a complicated cake. His lemon recipe with lemon cream cheese frosting custard (or is it pastry cream?) and lemon curd in the middle! I have never made any of those things because I was always too scared, but he has given me the courage!

[@athomewithnika6459]

i am from Azerbaijan and we always eat watermelon with salty white local cheese and sometimes lavash bread (flatbread). This salad speaks to me. I will definitely try it

[@noybx8948]

Omg heaven

[@CMBauer]

Yummy! That sounds delicious!

[@esratol9142]

I'm from Turkey and we also eat it watermelon with our local cheese and bread! Yummy 😋😋

[@PreppyKitchen]

Yes to the addition of lavash!

[@fatemesoltani4111]

Hi compaitorit... I really know what you are talking about. this salad is similar to our local meal... Difinietly delicious (∩_∩)

[@PentonUSA1]

I started making this salad a couple years ago using this recipe - everyone absolutely loves it! I also add some blueberries to the salad and I make the Lime Dressing and keep it separate and let eaters drizzle on their salads to their tastes - lasts longer that way. If you are serving the entire batch at once - then pour on the dressing over the entire salad - I usually make a batch and eat off of it for several days and having the dressing already in the salad gets it too mushy after a day or two. Love it!

Ok but that watermelon looks absolutely incredible! So red and delicious!

Really! 🍉🍉🍉

BEST SWEET WATERMELONS 🍉🍉 ARE THE ONES THAT HAVE THE MOST YELLOW SPOTS ON THEM.... GUARANTEED "Sweet"

[@caraeuler2927]

I can't wait to make this. Here's two others I've had. 1. Watermelon, feta, fresh mint dressed in rose water. 2. Watermelon, red onion, fresh basil, little balls of mozzarella dressed in Italian vinaigrette. I love summer produce!

[@meryemcakr4101]

Those sound also pretty interesting. Worth a try. Thank you for sharing!

[@mommylineskitchen1957]

woww i wanna make this a try too..its summer here in Doha and a lot of watermelons...im so amazed of ur melon no black seeds..hmmm im craving again..

[@abyssal_phoenix]

Its funny how I literally just was thinking about a big mistake i made when i used an American recipe for the first time. When we talk about a teaspoon over here we talk about a spoon you use in a tea cup. A table spoon is a spoon you eat soup with, a cup is a drinking cup etc, so i followed the recipe using the wrong way to measure stuff making the cake i made really weird. It did cause me to discover a “new” kind of frosting that I perfected over the years and its now my secret frosting everyone loves😂 sweet, slightly sour, creamy and buttery, it got it all

[@catlady5763]

Please share the frosting recipe!!!!

I made this on 4th of july! Minus the onions. It is delicious.

[@CHarr1991]

“ Give yourself a few minutes to snack on the extra watermelon” MANDATORY

[@JLMac322]

I lived in Greece for a couple months and there was this truck that'd roll down the street slowly with a man shouting over a megaphone "karpouzi, karpouzi, karpouzi." First time it happened it freaked me out cuz it was a large truck and the guy sounded quite angry, I thought it was some sorta political thing. Turns out it was just a guy selling watermelon, and wow they were the best watermelons I'd ever had. So in my mind at least, Greece is definitely a watermelon country

[@aurelialosonti7519]

i live in Romania and to us is normal for people to got with trucks full of fruits(such as watermelon) and vegetables to sell and they scream. a lot.

[@honeybee5747]

My mom went there 30 years ago and the same thing happened to her and she thought it was a political thing that they were taking over the country lol 😂 but they do have the best watermelons and the food is amazing!

[@eloybouzasmoares6882]

As the biggest watermelon lover in Spain I can only say THANK YOU. I bought some today so I'll be sure to try this tomorrow! You rock man.

[@Michalisalimonos]

Feta cheese and water melon brought up generations of Greeks. When you come to Greece you have to try a barrel matured feta with water melon!

[@PreppyKitchen]

YES!!!!! The cheese in Greece is SO amazing and not just feta!

[@tammynigro1525]

This looks SO good! Tip to cut your watermelon: 1- quarter your melon, 2- slice lengthwise and crosswise until you hit the rind (not through the rind) 3- Then you a spoon or knife and just go along the rind. 4- Your cubes of melon will fall right into your bowl! This works great for cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon etc.

[@mayap351]

Looks delicious, I love summery salads!

[@PreppyKitchen]

Me too!! Thank you!

[@hammshomestead]

Great recipe. I did however add 1/2 a clove minced garlic to the lime dressing. and I added some Tajin to the whole salad and tossed all together. So delicious! Thank you for this recipe.

[@streamguyentertainment]

I always enjoy watermelon. This looks great. Thanks for sharing this

[@flourchylde]

This is my all-time favorite summer salad. Thanks for the recipe.

[@liza-marie89]

If I could find a watermelon this time of the year (winter in South Africa) I would make TONS of this! You can also use the skin to make a preserve- great with icecream or freshly baked bread....😊😊 waste not want not

[@aidamusa2953]

In Palestine, we eat watermelon with goat cheese, like Nabulsi and Ackawi, and homemade flatbread (Kmaj) or Taboon bread. I love it. Sooo delicious 😋 I also love to eat mint with watermelon and cheese. So, your recipe is on my very-soon to-do-list 😉 Thank you!

[@halasaad9871]

Watermelon and goat cheese is the bestttt!!! My fav is ackawi but another good option is halloumi cheese!

[@pjmac5556]

I eat cottage cheese with my watermelon. Yumo

[@Amelia-xc9gw]

I have never seen this kind of salad 😍😍😍looks absolutely delicious

[@daes9401]

Watermelon (Karpouzi) is, in fact, quite popular in Greece.

[@ernskii77]

A helpful tip Soak the chopped red onions in the lime juice first for a few minutes before adding it to the salad then drizzle the olive oil at the end.. the lime juice will cut out the spiciness of the onions that most people dislike.. I also luv adding black olives and parsley to this salad

[@maryamzizi13]

[@Umaimmashahzad]

Delicious perfect

[@philippoon8879]

This salad is very common among the Mediterranean nations along with the Middle East and the Caucus region, very refreshing and of course you can zest the lime for more free flavor, aromatize the dressing further. Yes it's also great with many flatbreads such as the lavash or the many that are made in a tandoor oven. I get that California and the West are going through heatwaves, drought and forest fires and the East is as cool as post Labour Day. That's man induced climate change and global warming.

[@adrianavelasquez1097]

You can also so a lemonade with the white thing of the watermelon or just put some lemon with pepper and salt

[@raraavis7782]

Made it, everyone liked it 👍🏻 I actually measured 3 Tbs of lime juice though (1 lime was about 1 1/2 Tbs) and it was a tad strong. Half that or 1 lime would have been plenty enough for the amount. Not a huge fan of the red onions, either. They were fine, but personally, I would replace the with chopped Pistachios or something, next time. Both salty and sweet nut morsels would have worked really well with this salad.

[@robertabarnes4299]

Looks yummy!

[@Porkcfish]

Made this for a birthday dinner last night. It was a big hit and tasted nice. Two things I did differently, and I think this is really important: soak the red onion in cold water for ten minutes before adding it to the salad. If you don't, the allicin from the onions will take over everything. Soaking the onion will take away the power of the onion. I also zested the limes for the dressing. It gives more flavour to the salad. It is imperative you make this and serve it immediately. Mint doesn't hold well once cut or torn. And the salad will "dry out" if you wait. It was a hit and I made it à la minute, so YYMV with my suggestions.

I don’t know if you like spicy food much BUT you should try a watermelon 🍉salad but with lime 🍈and chilli 🌶dressing! Asian style! It’s mega addictive and once you’ve had it you will never forget how amazing it is! Had it once in a restaurant and have been recreating it ever since. I don’t think I’ve ever had watermelon and feta salad so i promise to try this if you’ll try the chilli one! Loving your work John, got hooked a fair few years ago when I happened upon a video where you spoke about the Wilton cake belts!!!
