- Wax Begonia few petals
Instructions
- Chop the watermelon into small bite sized pieces
- Slice the red onion into very thin slices
- Buy goat cheese crumbles or chop a block of goat cheese into pieces to use as crumbles
- Finely chop half a jalapeno and deseed if you want your salad less spicy
- In a bowl, toss the watermelon, onion, cheese, jalapeno, black pepper and lemon juice and toss well
- plate and sprinkle with the sunflower shoots, edible flower petals, serve and enjoy
Notes
- The cheese can be swapped for Feta if you prefer a sharper, saltier taste.
- If you want a spicier salad you can use serrano chilies, if you don't like the idea od the chilies just omit them. A happy medium is to use the jalapenos and deseed them.
- The edible flowers are optional and can be used if desired and in whatever quantity desired. They don't have a very strong taste but do have tons of nutritional value. For this reason and the aesthetics I was fairly generous in my use of them in this salad.
