I just discovered this guy two days ago. He's so weird and I love it! "Whisk whisk whisk. Aaaaahhhh-mazing!" Adorbs! He has me actually going to attempt to make a complicated cake. His lemon recipe with lemon cream cheese frosting custard (or is it pastry cream?) and lemon curd in the middle! I have never made any of those things because I was always too scared, but he has given me the courage!
I lived in Greece for a couple months and there was this truck that'd roll down the street slowly with a man shouting over a megaphone "karpouzi, karpouzi, karpouzi." First time it happened it freaked me out cuz it was a large truck and the guy sounded quite angry, I thought it was some sorta political thing. Turns out it was just a guy selling watermelon, and wow they were the best watermelons I'd ever had. So in my mind at least, Greece is definitely a watermelon country
My mom went there 30 years ago and the same thing happened to her and she thought it was a political thing that they were taking over the country lol 😂 but they do have the best watermelons and the food is amazing!
i am from Azerbaijan and we always eat watermelon with salty white local cheese and sometimes lavash bread (flatbread). This salad speaks to me. I will definitely try it
Its funny how I literally just was thinking about a big mistake i made when i used an American recipe for the first time. When we talk about a teaspoon over here we talk about a spoon you use in a tea cup. A table spoon is a spoon you eat soup with, a cup is a drinking cup etc, so i followed the recipe using the wrong way to measure stuff making the cake i made really weird. It did cause me to discover a “new” kind of frosting that I perfected over the years and its now my secret frosting everyone loves😂 sweet, slightly sour, creamy and buttery, it got it all
Great recipe. I did however add 1/2 a clove minced garlic to the lime dressing. and I added some Tajin to the whole salad and tossed all together. So delicious! Thank you for this recipe.
I can't wait to make this. Here's two others I've had. 1. Watermelon, feta, fresh mint dressed in rose water. 2. Watermelon, red onion, fresh basil, little balls of mozzarella dressed in Italian vinaigrette. I love summer produce!
If I could find a watermelon this time of the year (winter in South Africa) I would make TONS of this! You can also use the skin to make a preserve- great with icecream or freshly baked bread....😊😊 waste not want not
A helpful tip Soak the chopped red onions in the lime juice first for a few minutes before adding it to the salad then drizzle the olive oil at the end.. the lime juice will cut out the spiciness of the onions that most people dislike.. I also luv adding black olives and parsley to this salad
I really like the way u talk. Your energy is so positive and amazing ❤. I was very upset and anxious today. I love watermelon and this recipe and the person making this recipe uplifted my mood😊. Thank you.
That looks *SCRUMPTIOUS* I'm salivating... I never would've thought to make a salad out of a watermelon, but here we are! Cut to me driving to Kroger to pick one up. Thanks John!!!
In Palestine, we eat watermelon with goat cheese, like Nabulsi and Ackawi, and homemade flatbread (Kmaj) or Taboon bread. I love it. Sooo delicious 😋 I also love to eat mint with watermelon and cheese. So, your recipe is on my very-soon to-do-list 😉 Thank you!
Haha I’ve been making this salad a lot this summer. I use kale as a base and don’t put the onion but everything else is the same. It’s so refreshing and delicious!
This salad is very common among the Mediterranean nations along with the Middle East and the Caucus region, very refreshing and of course you can zest the lime for more free flavor, aromatize the dressing further. Yes it's also great with many flatbreads such as the lavash or the many that are made in a tandoor oven. I get that California and the West are going through heatwaves, drought and forest fires and the East is as cool as post Labour Day. That's man induced climate change and global warming.
Thank you for the idea. I just made watermelon wine, and pickled watermelon rind, but I was looking for something I could do with just the meat. I may try this.
“Not a Watermelon and garlic salad” I felt that in my soul I hate !!! When someone use’s my cutting board and they don’t thoroughly clean it 🙄 I’m gonna try this recipe❤
This looks SO good! Tip to cut your watermelon: 1- quarter your melon, 2- slice lengthwise and crosswise until you hit the rind (not through the rind) 3- Then you a spoon or knife and just go along the rind. 4- Your cubes of melon will fall right into your bowl! This works great for cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon etc.
i am no chef thats for sure, but its just me and mum here and its way hot out so i wanted to make her something cold and refreshing and this did not disappoint. we both loved this and i got to look like i knew what i was doing. thank you for this video.

Feta cheese and water melon brought up generations of Greeks. When you come to Greece you have to try a barrel matured feta with water melon!
YES!!!!! The cheese in Greece is SO amazing and not just feta!

i live in Romania and to us is normal for people to got with trucks full of fruits(such as watermelon) and vegetables to sell and they scream. a lot.

Watermelon (Karpouzi) is, in fact, quite popular in Greece.
I made this on 4th of july! Minus the onions. It is delicious.
Great recipe. I did however add 1/2 a clove minced garlic to the lime dressing. and I added some Tajin to the whole salad and tossed all together. So delicious! Thank you for this recipe.
“ Give yourself a few minutes to snack on the extra watermelon” MANDATORY
As the biggest watermelon lover in Spain I can only say THANK YOU. I bought some today so I'll be sure to try this tomorrow! You rock man.

Those sound also pretty interesting. Worth a try. Thank you for sharing!
It is absolutely delicious! Like anything John does!

Tip for watermelon. Buy a Cutco melon knife. Best kept secret. Also a fantastic cake slicing knife too!
