Salads


pound watermelon, sliced into wedges
Olive oil, for drizzling
Sea salt

Pecan Dukkah Dressing:
1 cup pecans
1 cup sesame seeds
2 tablespoons coriander seeds
1/2 tablespoon fennel seeds
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup good-quality olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon molasses
1 tablespoon champagne vinegar
2 limes, zested

1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 cup sliced mini cucumbers
1 cup fresh mint, torn
1 cup feta cheese
2 avocados, cubed

Preheat a grill or grill pan to high heat.

Toss the watermelon with oil and sprinkle with salt. Add to the grill. Cook until grill marks are pronounced on 1 side, about 3 minutes. Arrange on a large platter and refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.

For the pecan dukkah dressing: Add the pecans, sesame seeds, coriander seeds and fennel seeds to a skillet over low heat. Toast slightly until fragrant, about 7 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before adding the mixture to a food processor with salt and pepper to taste. Pulse until grainy and combined and reserve.

Add the olive oil, honey, molasses, vinegar, lime zest and salt and pepper to a bowl. Whisk until combined. Whisk in 2 heaping teaspoons dukkah spice.

Top the watermelon with the red onion, cucumber, mint, dukkah dressing, feta and avocado. Garnish with more dry dukkah and serve.
