Watermelon Salad with Jalapeño and Lime

Vegetarian Times Issue: March 1, 2007   p.78

Thanks to farmers in Texas and Arizona, sweet flavor-packed watermelons are now available year-round. Black sesame seeds add a nice color contrast to this dish, but if you can’t find them, white sesame seeds work just as well.

Directions

1. Whisk together lime juice, oil and lime zest. Set aside.

2. Place watermelon cubes in single layer in large shallow dish. Pour lime juice mixture over watermelon, and gently toss to combine. Cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

3. Place 5 jalapeño rings each in 4 shallow serving bowls. Mound 1/2 cup watermelon in center of each bowl. Divide marinade among bowls. Sprinkle with basil, sesame seeds and salt, and serve.

This was very good. The dressing draws out the flavor of the melon and adds a little tang. Not sure it would be worth the effort if the watermelon is flavorful and ripe, but for a so-so fruit this would work well.
