Sweet Melon Salad: A Taste of Summer
Refreshing Melon Salad Recipe Using Seasonal Summer Fruits
Hello everyone! This is Egeupsik, here to brighten up your meals. Today, we’re going to make a simple yet special salad using melon, a quintessential summer fruit. The crisp texture and subtle sweetness of the melon, combined with the rich nuts and a tangy-sweet dressing, create a flavor that everyone from kids to adults will love. Shall we get started on this delicious melon salad?
Ingredients (Serves 60)- 10 Korean Melons (Chamoe)
- 200g Cherry Tomatoes
- 200g Raisins
- 10g Fresh Dill
- 500g Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 50g Fine Salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 10 fresh Korean melons. Peel the melons thinly using a peeler, then cut them in half lengthwise. Gently scrape out and discard the seeds from the center with a spoon. (Save the seeds separately, as we’ll use them later for the dressing!) Slice the melon into bite-sized pieces, about 1cm thick. Avoid slices that are too thin, as they might lose their crunch, or too thick, as the dressing won’t penetrate well. Aim for a nice, even thickness.
Step 2
Take the reserved melon seeds and strain them through a fine-mesh sieve, gently pressing to extract only the clear juice. This melon juice will play a crucial role in adding depth and flavor to your dressing.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the star of our melon salad: the dressing! In a bowl, combine the strained melon juice, 500g of sweet condensed milk for a delightful sweetness, and 50g of fine salt to enhance the overall flavor profile. Finely chop 10g of fresh dill and add it for a fragrant aroma. Whisk all the ingredients together using a whisk or spoon until smooth and well combined, ensuring no lumps remain.
Step 4
Arrange the sliced melon attractively on your serving dish or a large bowl. Add 200g of cherry tomatoes, halved, for a pop of color. Sprinkle 200g of raisins evenly over the top for a touch of sweetness. For a final garnish, lightly scatter some fresh dill leaves for an even more appealing presentation.
Step 5
Here’s the final step! Drizzle the carefully prepared melon dressing generously over the salad. You can gently toss the salad to coat everything evenly, or simply serve it with the dressing poured on top. Your refreshing and delicious melon salad is now beautifully complete! Enjoy the vibrant taste of summer.
