Watermelon! Soup, salad and a cocktail [RECIPE]

It was Summer.  It was summer in Whistler.  I had an hour before my tee time and I decided to hit Araxi restaurant for their soup and sandwich special.  UNREAL is the best way to describe the menu that day.  An open faced Duck confit and Gruyere sandwich with a watermelon tequila soup.  Seriously good eats.  In homage to that unbelievable lunch, here are some great watermelon recipes.  Show me your melons, and I’ll show you a good time.

  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • Chopped mint or basil (fresh only!)
PREPARATION
Place the watermelon, feta and cucumber cubes in a large bowl, and gently toss with the salt and sugar. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and toss to coat.  Add chopped basil or mint.  Refrigerate for 15 minutes, then gently toss one last time before serving.
