INGREDIENTS<\/h2>
  • 1 small watermelon (preferably bradford, crimson sweet or black diamond)<\/li>
  • Kosher salt, to taste<\/li>
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced<\/li>
  • Zest of 1 lime<\/li>
  • 3 Tbsp. honey<\/li>
  • 2 Tbsp. Banyuls or sherry vinegar<\/li>
  • 1 bunch mint, plus more for garnish<\/li>
  • 1 bunch basil, plus more for garnish<\/li>
  • ¼ cup grapeseed oil<\/li><\/ul><\/div>

    PREPARATION<\/h2>

    • Cut the watermelon into large cubes and place in a large bowl. Sprinkle lightly with salt, then add the red onion, lime zest, honey and vinegar.
    • Destem and tear the mint into the bowl. Gently stir ingredients to combine.
    • Prepare an ice bath and boil a pot of water. Blanch the basil a few seconds in the boiling water, then move to the ice bath. Dry then destem the basil.
    • In a blender, combine the basil leaves and grapeseed oil. Blend on high until the outside of the blender is slightly warm. Strain the basil oil through a fine mesh strainer lined with a coffee filter.
    • Place the salad on a plate or in a bowl and finish with the basil oil. Garnish with additional herbs and\/or fresh summer greens.<\/p><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
