Summer Watermelon Salad: A PRMRY x Desert Provisions Collab
We’re savoring the last few weeks of summer with this lovely salad. We’ve teamed up with our gal pal friends at PRMRY olive oil to share one of our favorite and most refreshing summer salads. Whip this up for an outdoor party, bbq, potluck, or gathering. The only time it takes to make this salad is the prep time assembling all the ingredients. After that, you just toss to combine and enjoy. We like it best served next to grilled chicken or pork chops.
You might be thinking - onions, olives, watermelon, goat cheese, what? Trust us. Trust us. It’s next level good. There are A LOT of watermelon salads out there. Most use feta, but we really like the creamier texture of goat cheese and think it works just as well if not better than the standard. The combo of the high-quality olive oil, melon juice, and lime create a dressing that ties it all together. You’re bound to impress anyone with tastebuds worth impressing.
Takes: 15 minutes
Serves 4-6
3-4 lbs seedless watermelon
4 oz goat cheese
12-15 pitted Castelvetrano olives, torn in half
¼ medium-sized red onion, very thinly sliced
3 tbsp golden raisins
1 lime, cut in half
2-3 tbsp of PRMRY ENHANCE olive oil
¼ cup mint leaves, stems removed
Desert Provisions Sonoran Sea Salt (use Hatch Red Chile Salt if you’re looking for a bit of a kick)
Cut watermelon into bite sized cubes after removing the rind. Assemble watermelon cubes, olives, red onion, and raisins in serving bowl. Gently toss to combine ingredients. Pinch goat cheese into small chucks and evenly distribute. Add the mint too - make sure you evenly distribute the leaves. Juice each half of lime evenly over salad. Drizzle 2-3 tbsp of PRMRY ENHANCE olive oil evenly over salad. Top with a couple pinches of Desert Provisions Sonoran Sea Salt.
Smile and enjoy immediately.
Cook's notes: This salad is so quick and easy to make. The best part - it can be made ahead of time. But, if you do want to prep this in advance, do just that. Prep it all and then hold off dressing it with the olive oil, lime, and salt until you’re ready to serve. We also think it’s best to add the goat cheese and mint then too so it doesn’t brown or get soggy.
