Hey guys and Gals, this thread is for who have a passion for Cooking and Baking and would like to inspire us and share some of their favorite seasonal dishes. I will kick it off with a Watermelon and Garlic Salad (grilled shrimp optional) recipe. Bon Appetit!
1 Garlic clove
2 Cucumbers
1 Red onion
1 Bunch of parsley
1 Bunch of dill
2 cups Greek-style yogurt
6 cups Watermelon (cut into 1-inch chunks)
1/2 cup of Feta (optional)
Handful of arugula
salt to taste
Juice of 1 lime
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
Olive oil
Optional.. 5-10 skewered peeled and deveined extra large shrimp, marinated with garlic, s&p, lime, olive oil,
make sure grill is hot, grill shrimp for roughly 2 minutes per side, remove them set and cool, remove from skewers and place on salad, (soak the skewers to prevent bamboo splinters, or use metal skewers instead).
Method:
1. Mince and crush garlic into a paste. Chop up dill and parsley. Peel 1 cucumber and coarsely grate into a bowl. Incorporate garlic paste, herbs, cucumber, and lemon with Greek yogurt. Add salt to taste.
2. Cut up watermelon into 1-inch chunks and add to large bowl. Slice up 1 cucumber, no need to peel this one, and add to bowl with watermelon.
3. Toss arugula in olive oil and thinly slice 1 red onion. Combine watermelon, arugula, cucumber, red onion, feta (optional) and lime juice. Serve salad cold with tzatziki sauce on the side. Sprinkle flaky salt over finished salad.
