Watermelon
and tomatoes are a perfect match.
This bright red,
fresh and light salad makes an ideal summer side
dish. The sumac
gives the perfect hint
of tangy
lemony flavor
to this refreshing summer
salad.
serves 2 - 4
25g red onion (finely
chopped)
1 mild green chili
(finely sliced)
250g ripe cherry
tomatoes
250g watermelon
(peeled)
olive oil
lemon juice
salt and pepper
1- 2 tbsp pine nuts
1 tsp sumac
small handful of
fresh basil leaves chopped
Add
the red
onions and chili into
a medium mixing bowl. Drizzle
with a little olive oil and
a squeeze
of lemon. Season
with salt and pepper, mix
well.
Next,
slice the tomatoes into quarters and add to the bowl. Cut
the watermelon into
small cubes and add to the bowl, mix
well and
set
aside.
Place
a dry frying pan over a medium-low heat. Add the pine
nuts and
keep shaking the frying pan
every couple of seconds to prevent the nuts from burning.
As soon as the nuts are slightly browned, take the frying pan off the
heat. Transfer the nuts to a small
bowl to cool for a moment.
Just
before serving, sprinkle
pine nuts, basil
and sumac over
the top. Perfect
with grilled meat and
poultry, or just
enjoy it by itself.
