Watermelon salad

C’est l’été et il fait chaud, donc se nourrir de choses crues c’est un peu la base (oui qui aimerait allumer son four par ces températures !!!?) ! La pastèque c’est vraiment l’aliment parfait dans ce genre de situation (ici on en dévore une par semaine tout l’été, on fait notre cure !), et j’ai eu envie de vous la proposer en salade, en version salée. Ce n’est pas la première fois que je vous propose une salade de pastèque, il y avait eu la pastèque sauce chimichurri, une recette que j’adore aussi ! In short, it’s really the kind of meal that I could eat every day., accompanied by a good slice of country bread and a protein, it's perfect !

Salted watermelon you either love or hate,

I admit that I love putting fruit in my savory salads, if you love it, there is also peach panzanella which is a super fresh salad and which changes a little ! In spring, some also put strawberries in their salad, Personally I have never tested it but if that is your case, do not hesitate to share your experience in comments ! If you couldn't find a grapefruit, simply make a lemon vinaigrette, it will be very good !
