Watermelon Herbed Cheese Salad

Ingredients
  

  • 6 apricots, cut in half
  • 1/2 cup macadamia nuts (toasted)
  • 3 cups cubed watermelon
  • 2-3 cups butter lettuce, chopped
  • 1/2 small log herbed goat cheese
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh basil
  • Juice of 1/2 lime
  • 1 tbsp good olive oil
  • 1/4 - 1/2 tsp Maldon Sea Salt
  • Fresh ground pepper

Instructions
 

  • On a low heat on the BBQ, grill apricots for 3-5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Using a small aluminum dish, toast the macadamia nuts on the BBQ for 5-8 min, tossing the nuts to avoid any burning. (I am without a kitchen right now, but you can toast the nuts in a frying pan on the stove. Watch closely to not burn.)
  • In a medium bowl, combine the cubed watermelon, chopped herbs, butter lettuce, lime juice, olive oil and the salt and pepper.
  • Let sit for 10 minutes to allow herbs and lime to infuse watermelon.
  • Toss gently.
  • Add toasted macadamia nuts, chunks of goat cheese and very lightly toss.
  • Plate salad on individual plates.
  • Add 3-4 apricot halves on top of watermelon salad.
  • Enjoy! (And don’t forget to comment and let me know what you think.)
