This refreshing salad has a mildly tangy dressing that would complement most any entree. After enjoying a similar salad at a restaurant, I tried to re-create it at home. Adding sliced grilled chicken makes it a meal in itself.-Vickie Madrigal, Shreveport, Louisiana

SPICY WATERMELON SALAD WITH PINEAPPLE AND LIME



Spicy Watermelon Salad With Pineapple and Lime image

Refreshing, sweet and spicy, this salad is the edible equivalent of a crisp beer on a hot summer's day. It pushes the watermelon-feta-mint combination to new heights with a Mexican-inspired flavor profile of lime, jalapeño and cilantro. It's also easy to prepare, requiring little more than a knife, a bowl and a whisk. Enjoy it as soon as it's assembled, as the salty dressing draws the juice out of the fruit fairly quickly and the salad can lose its fresh crunch. A sprinkle of Tajín, a chile-lime Mexican spice blend, is optional, but adds a touch of smoke.

Time 15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon fresh lime zest, plus 2 tablespoons juice
1 tablespoon honey
1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1 1/4 pounds fresh watermelon, chilled
1 1/4 pounds fresh pineapple, chilled
4 ounces feta, crumbled (about 2/3 cup)
1 packed cup small cilantro sprigs, or 1/3 packed cup torn fresh mint
Tajín, for sprinkling (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, stir together oil, vinegar, lime zest and juice, honey and jalapeño. Season generously with salt and pepper. Add the red onion and toss to coat. Let marinate, 10 minutes.
  • While the onions marinate, chop the watermelon and the pineapple into 1-inch cubes, discarding any seeds. Add watermelon and pineapple to the vinaigrette and toss to coat; season to taste. Refrigerate until serving.
  • When ready to serve, add feta and herbs to salad and toss to coat. Sprinkle with Tajin, if using, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe pineapple: A ripe pineapple will be fragrant and have a golden yellow color. Avoid pineapples that are green or have brown spots.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to cut the pineapple and onion into thin slices.
  • Marinate the pineapple: Marinating the pineapple in a mixture of lime juice, honey, and spices will enhance its flavor.
  • Grill the pineapple and onion: Grill the pineapple and onion slices over medium heat until they are slightly charred and softened.
  • Assemble the salad: Combine the grilled pineapple, onion, cilantro, and jalapeno in a bowl. Drizzle with the remaining marinade and toss to coat.
  • Serve immediately: Grilled Pineapple and Onion Salad is best served immediately, while the pineapple is still warm and juicy.

Conclusion:

Grilled Pineapple and Onion Salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The sweetness of the pineapple pairs perfectly with the savory flavor of the onion, and the cilantro and jalapeno add a touch of spice. This salad is also very easy to make, and it can be ready in just 30 minutes. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious side dish, give Grilled Pineapple and Onion Salad a try!
