Watermelon salad
This watermelon salad is a surprisingly fresh counterpart to a grilled meal or summer barbecue. The sweet cubes of watermelon are marinated in a dressing of lime, honey, soy and sushi vinegar, creating an exciting balance of sweet, sour and umami. Topped with spring onion, jalepeno, sesame seeds and optional shiso purple, this dish is not only a feast for the taste buds but also for the eyes.
