I love a man that will get his hands dirty in the kitchen. That's why I love my man. Look what he cooked up for dinner last week. Well, actually this isn't cooked, but you know what I mean. Although I'm really not a watermelon fan, it was delicious. So nice on a warm summer night.
Watermelon with Watercress and Cotija
Watermelon, rind removed and flesh cut into 1/2 to 1 inch cubes
Jicama, peeled and cubed (1/4" cubes)
Cotija cheese, crumbled
Watercress (a little bit)
Thinly shaved radish (for garnish)
1 lime, juiced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Cumin, tiny pinch
Chili Powder, tiny pinch
salt
freshly ground black pepper
B's Approximate Recipe -- He never remembers what he exactly threw in!
After cubing jicama, marinate in lime juice with a little cumin and chili pepper.
Make a dressing with olive oil, white wine vinegar, and more lime juice, salt and pepper.
In a salad bowl, combine the watermelon, cotija cheese, watercress, jicama and dressing. Gently toss until all the ingredients are combined. Garnish with radish. Serve immediately.


I definitely am not a fan of watermelon. But earlier this year the Tech bistro served Watermelon Gazpacho and it was great. Any of the online recipes look good. Now we just need a real summer day...
