Watermelon, Cucumber & Burrata Salad

Watermelon, Cucumber & Burrata Salad

Early Summer 2023

By: Victoria Walsh

Create a colourful, easy-to-prepare salad with wedges or cubes of pink watermelon and vibrant green cucumber. Elevate the salad with creamy burrata and a quick and zesty vinaigrette made with Tajín seasoning mix—a dried chili, lime and salt blend that hails from Mexico. 

 

Serves 6

2 tbsp (30 mL) white-wine vinegar
1/2 tsp (2 mL) Tajín seasoning mix or 1 tbsp (15 mL) chili crisp
1/2 tsp (2 mL) sugar
Pinch salt
1/4 cup (60 mL) extra virgin olive oil
10 large mint leaves plus 2 tbsp (30 mL) small mint leaves for garnishing
1/2 mini watermelon or 1/4 medium-sized watermelon
1/2 English cucumber or 6 Persian cucumbers, or a mix of both
1 container (250 g) burrata, drained

 

1. Add vinegar, Tajín, sugar and salt to a medium bowl. Whisk in oil in a slow, dribbling stream. If making ahead, dressing will keep well, covered and refrigerated, for up to 2 days.

2. Just before serving, finely chop large mint leaves. Stir into dressing.

3. Slice watermelon into a mix of wedges and cubes. Remove rinds if you like. Slice cucumbers into rounds. Arrange over a serving platter. Tear burrata and arrange over watermelon and cucumbers. Just before serving, spoon dressing over ingredients. Garnish with small mint leaves.
