TWO SALADS — One Savory, One Sweet
Watermelon, Mint & Basil
1/2 of one small seedless watermelon, cubed
1 small bunch mint, leaves only
1 small bunch basil, leaves only
juice of one lemon
2 Tablespoons olive oil, or to taste
Salt & pepper, to taste
Plate cubes of watermelon. Scatter mint and basil leaves on top. In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Drizzle over the salad immediately before serving.
Watermelon, Goat Cheese & Honey
watermelon cut into triangular wedges
goat cheese, crumbled
4 Tablespoons honey
juice of one orange
Place watermelon wedges on serving plates. Serve two to three small wedges per person. Crumble goat cheese on top. Juice 1/2 an orange into a small bowl. Add honey and stir to combine. The sauce should be a syrupy consistency.
(If too thick, add juice from the remaining orange half.)
