Tantalising Watermelon Salad

Ingredients

3 cups watermelon cubed or balled

1 medium cucumber

2 tablespoons fresh mint

1 cup tofu diced

2 tablespoons umeboshi vinegar

 

Dressing Ingredients

2-3 tablespoons olive oil

Juice of a small lime

Generous pinch sea salt or to taste

½ teaspoon black pepper or to taste

Sprigs of mint

 

Preparation

Place the tofu and umeboshi vinegar into a small bowl and mix well. Set to one side and allow to marinate.

Score the skin of the cucumber with a fork. Cut into cubes. You can remove the seeds if preferred. I usually leave them.

Place the cucumber and watermelon into a salad bowl. Mix gently.

Place the dressing ingredients into a small bowl and whisk with a fork to combine.

Add the tofu to the salad. You can include any juice from the umeboshi vinegar.

Add the dressing and mix gently.

Right before serving, finely slice the mint leaves and sprinkle over the salad. If added too early, the mint can become brown.

Serve garnished with a few sprigs of mint.  Enjoy!
