Watermelon and Vidalia Onion Salad

I posted a few weeks ago about the virtues of watermelon. The first time we had this delicious salad was years ago at a restaurant in Buckhead (Atlanta) called Agnes and Muriel's. We've worked hard to recreate it. Watermelon is on its way out of season, so enjoy this delicious and healthy salad before they’re gone…

Watermelon and Vidalia Onion Salad


You'll Need:
One seedless watermelon, rind removed, cut into bite sized pieces
One large Vidalia onion, peeled and sliced into thin strips

2 tbsp. fresh mint, chopped
¼ cup red wine vinegar
2 tbsp. seasoned rice wine vinegar
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp. coriander seeds (whole)
Kosher salt and cracked pepper to taste

Combine watermelon and onions in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, wisk together vinegars, olive oil, salt and pepper. Stir in mint and coriander. Pour over melon mixture and stir to combine.
Garnish with sprigs of fresh mint.
(I’ve seen similar recipes that sprinkle with a little feta cheese as well)
