Jon Bonnell

INGREDIENTS

Watermelon salad

• Red watermelon slices

• Yellow watermelon slices

• Olive oil

• Kosher salt

Tequila-lime vinaigrette

• 2 1/2 oz freshly squeezed lime juice

• 1 1/2 oz white tequila

• 4-5 sprigs fresh cilantro

• 2 sprigs fresh mint

• 1 jalapeno, seeded

• 2 cloves garlic

• 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder

• 1 tablespoon honey

• 8 oz vegetable oil

• Salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

Watermelon salad:
Slice the watermelon into 1 1/2-inch-thick cuts and remove as many of the seeds as possible.

Brush lightly with oil, then grill on high just enough to make good grill marks on each side. Season with a touch of kosher salt.

Arrange slices on a platter and dress with the vinaigrette.

Tequila-lime vinaigrette:
Tear the cilantro and mint leaves into rough pieces with your fingers. Combine them in a large mixing bowl with all remaining ingredients, except for the oil.

Whisk vigorously, then slowly drizzle in the oil while whisking, then immediately pour over the platter of grilled watermelon.
