Watermelon Salad

Nothing says summer like watermelon. And personally we'd rather be eating it then lubing it up with baby oil, throwing it into a swimming pool and trying to bring it ashore. So, when Hot Knives threw a bit of a backyard BBQ last week we prepared our waz melz two ways: a crisp, fresh herb-laden jicama and watermelon salad, and a vodka watermelon. Here's a recipe for the former, the latter you can figure out on your own (pictured above).

Watermelon Salad
2 medium sized jicamas
2 juiced limes
1/2 cup grapefruit soda
2 Tbs. honey
4 Persian cucumbers
1/2 medium sized, seedless watermelon in chunks
2 cups chopped mint
2 cups chopped cilantro

Skin the jicama and shred them with a cheese grater. Mix the shreds in a bowl with limejuice, grapefruit soda and honey. Skin and slice the cucumbers and watermelon. Add all ingredients together in a large bowl and toss.

Beverage: PranQster Golden Ale
