Tomato and watermelon salad with olives and pine nuts (vegan)

Tomato and watermelon salad with olives and pine nuts

Ingredients for approx. 4 servings:

For the salad:

400 g cocktail tomatoes

1 small watermelon

1 packet of feta cheese

1 red onion

approx. 50 g green olives

For the dressing:

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon nut oil

½ tablespoon linseed oil

2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon sherry vinegar

Herb salt

Freshly ground black pepper

Oregano

Basil

Thyme

Also

Approximately 2 tablespoons pine nuts

A few sprigs of fresh herbs, if desired.

Preparation

  1. For the tomato and watermelon salad, wash the cocktail tomatoes and cut them in half.
  2. Cut the watermelon in half, slice it and then cut it into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Crumble the feta cheese.
  4. Pit the olives, if necessary.
  5. Place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix together.
  6. For the dressing, mix the olive oil, nut oil and linseed oil with the white balsamic vinegar and sherry vinegar. Season the dressing with herb salt, freshly ground black pepper, oregano, basil and thyme.
  7. Pour the dressing over the salad and stir gently.
  8. Toast the pine nuts in a pan without oil and mix into the salad.
  9. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs.

My tips:

  • Another type of melon is also suitable for this salad.
  • Prepare this raw food just before serving, as the melon and tomatoes quickly release their juices.
  • Try replacing the pine nuts with roasted walnuts for a different taste experience ;o)

Product description:

Watermelon, like other types of melon, is a member of the pumpkin family and is therefore actually a vegetable. It is in season in summer and, with an average water content of 90-95 per cent, is a great thirst-quencher. In addition to being enjoyed on its own, watermelon is also great in smoothies, punch, summer cakes or, as in our recipe, in a fruity salad.

 

Produktbeschreibung:

Die Wassermelone, sowie andere Melonensorten, ist ein Kürbisgewächs, also eigentlich ein Gemüse. Im Sommer hat sie Hochsaison, da sie durch den hohen Wasseranteil von durchschnittlich 90-95 Prozent sind sie nämlich ein guter Durstlöscher. Neben dem puren Fruchtgenuss eignet sich die Wassermelone auch hervorragend für Smoothies, Bowlen, sommerliche Torten oder wie hier in unserem Rezept, als fruchtigen Salat.
