4 cups ripe seedless watermelon (cut into 1 inch cubes)
\n1 cup cucumber (thinly sliced into rounds)
\n1\/2 cup shallot (thinly sliced)
\n3 tbsp vinegar (I used pomegranate vinegar)
\n1\/2 tsp fine sea salt (divided)
\n2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
\n1 tbsp fresh mint leaves
\n1\/4 tsp ground black pepper<\/p>\n
1 cup Turkish\/Greek yogurt (I strained mine to make it thicker)
\n1\/2 tsp dried mint
\n1\/2 tsp dried basil
\n1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
\n1 tsp honey or maple syrup
\n1\/8 tsp fine sea salt<\/p>\n
In a small bowl, combine sliced shallot with vinegar & 1\/4 tsp salt.
\nToss to combine, chill in the fridge to lightly pickle while preparing the rest of the salad.
\nIn a another small bowl, combine all the ingredients for the yoghurt sauce, stir well & chill in the fridge.
\nTo serve, spread by swirling herbed yoghurt sauce on the base of a serving bowl or plate.
\nScatter cubed watermelon on top, followed by cucumber, pickled shallot on top & drizzle 1 tsp leftover shallot pickle juice over the salad.
\nDrizzle olive oil on top, sprinkle with fresh mint, remaining salt, plus pepper.
\nIf not serving salad immediately, chill it in the fridge but it’s best served within an hour or two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
