SHAVED WATERMELON SALAD

This salad consists of only 4 ingredients: vibrant watermelon, plump ripe blueberries, fresh basil and organic micro-greens… are you drooling yet?

  • Servings: 4
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

4 cupsShaved Organic Seedless Watermelon, see instructions on how to prepare
2 cupsOrganic Blueberries
6Large Fresh Organic Basil Leaves
1 cupFresh Organic Micro-greens

Directions:

20 minutes before you make this recipe-gather 4 small serving plates, rinse them and shake off the excess water (do not dry) and place the in refrigerator. Cut the rind off of your watermelon to expose the red meat. Cut the watermelon into large rectangle pieces about 2 inches thick by 4 inches long. Use a vegetable peeler and shave the thin side of the rectangle into a strainer, measure out 4 cups of shavings, return them to the stainer and allow to drain until you are ready to plate. Wash and de-stem the blueberries and set aside. Wash and spin dry the basil, cut off the stems, fine chiffonade [stack leaves on each other, roll tightly lengthwise and thin slice the roll width-wise to make thin ribbons.] and set aside. Wash and spin dry the micro-greens and set aside. Now it is time to plate your salads. Remove the plates from the refrigerator. ON EACH PLATE: Place 1 cup of the watermelon shavings in the middle in a pile. Top this pile with 1/2 cup blueberries. Top the whole pile with 1/4 of the chiffonaded basil. Pile 1/4 cup of the micro-green high on top as shown in the picture. Serve and enjoy!

Helpful Tips:

NOTE: this can be made up to two hours ahead of time. Prepare all of the ingredients (minus the plates) as in the instructions and store them in the refrigerator in separate sealed containers until you are ready to plate. Be sure to prep the serving plates at least 30 minutes before putting your salads together.
