An Easy, Refreshing Summer Salad Recipe - With a Kick!
Sweet, cool watermelon and salty feta is a winning combination… but add roasted shishito peppers (a Japanese heirloom pepper) to the mix, and you’ve got a positively addictive salad. Plus, the colorful salad is drizzled with a tangy lime vinaigrette that keeps all the flavors in check. It’s then garnished with tender, aromatic fennel fronds.
If you’ve never cooked with shishito peppers, I urge you to try them, especially when you can find the heirloom kind (see Viviane’s tip below). Pan-roasted until blistered, the thin-skinned peppers become succulent. When picked young (about 3" in size), they’re sweet with just a hint of heat. When larger, they can be hotter.
This simple salad is not only mouthwatering; it’s also absolutely stunning … Enjoy!
