Watermelon, Feta and Toasted Pumpkin Seed Salad
/It may sound strange to pair watermelon with balsamic vinegar in a salad. But the combination is a wonderful delight! Ingredients 1/4 cup good-quality balsamic vinegar 1 tablespoon sugar 8 (roughly 4 by 2-inch) pieces seedless watermelon 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled Mixed baby lettuce leaves, mesclun mix or rocket 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds 2 tbsp tamari
Method 1. In a small saucepan, whisk together the balsamic vinegar and sugar. Cook over medium heat until reduced by half and syrupy, about 4 minutes. 2. Put a heavy based fry pan, on high heat. Add pumpkin seeds and tamari. Continually stir until the pumpkin seeds begin to roast and the tamari roasts on the outside of the seeds. 3. Wash and spin mixed greens. Sprinkle feta, watermelon and toasted pumpkin seeds over the top. Drizzle the balsamic reduction across the top.
