Watermelon Basil Balsamic Salad is the first time I've served watermelon as a savory side dish, and I have to say it was very good folks:@) Just a few simple ingredients (hopefully you have a bottle of good balsamic vinegar on-hand. If not you can find my son's suggestion
here), and it comes together in no time.
Basil is growing nicely in the garden and I want to enjoy it while plentiful. There really isn't a recipe, it's summer, let's keep things easy... Construct it right on the plates, that way everyone gets a nice drizzle of the balsamic for themselves. Don't hesitate to give this a try, it gets my darn good label, and I will be serving this for Sunday dinners during the hot weather! It would be really special while grilling out...

ReplyDeleteWe are having a fish boil for Father's Day...and this will be perfect to go with all that nummy food. I'm going to serve it on lettuce, so my crew will know it's a salad1! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI have made something similar to this but it had mint. I like the idea of basil instead. Feta cheese is really good in this too. Happy eating!
