Watermelon Asian Salad

This recipe was made by a guest speaker in my classroom. All 150 students loved it, so I knew it was a hit! I brought it to my family Christmas and they loved it as well. 

I serve it with chips and people are surprised that the recipe has watermelon and not tomatoes. It looks a lot like pico de gallo. Serve it with anything salty. It would be a great topping on pork chops.

Ingredients:

• ¼ watermelon, seeds removed, diced
• ½ cup rice wine vinegar or regular white vinegar
• 1 Tbsp brown sugar
• ¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1.5 tsp of ground ginger
• 1 garlic clove, peeled and minced
• 1-2 serrano peppers, minced
• 1 tsp basil
• ¼ cup cilantro leaves, chopped
• 2 scallions, sliced
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 Tbsp sesame seeds
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions 

1. Mix everything together except for the watermelon.
2. Add watermelon
3. Serve with chips or over pork chops
