Here in the South, it’s watermelon season again. Just because watermelon is sweet, juicy and delicious doesn’t mean its just for dessert. One of my excellent cooking assistants has sent me a flavorful and unusual recipe for a watermelon salad. Thanks Bill!
Watermelon Salad with Potato Vodka Feta Dressing
1 Head Bibb or Romaine Dressing
2 Cups Seedless Watermelon cut into 1” Cubes
½ Tsp Smoked Paprika
Chopped Mint Leaves for Garnish
*Potato Vodka Feta Dressing
Cover a salad plate with the lettuce. Top with the seedless watermelon and drizzle the dressing over the salad. Lightly sprinkle the smoked paprika over the dressing and garnish with the chopped mint.
*Potato Vodka Feta Dressing
1 Cup Sour Cream
½ Cup Light Mayonnaise
½ Cup Loosely Packed Fresh Mint Leaves Finely Chopped
2 – 3 oz Feta Cheese
1 – 1 ½ oz of Potato Vodka.
Stir together the sour cream, mayonnaise, mint and feta ingredients in a medium bowl. Drizzle in the vodka and continue stirring until the dressing becomes thick and creamy.
