Viewed: 70 - Published at: 3 years agoIngredients
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 5 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1/3 cup chopped dry-roasted shelled pistachios
- 1 pound cooked medium shrimp
- 1 large English cucumber, cut in half lengthwise and thinly sliced
- 2 cups 1/2-inch cubed watermelon
- 2 cups 1/2-inch cubed honeydew melon
- 2 cups 1/2-inch cubed cantaloupe
- 1/2 cup vertically sliced red onion
- 1 head Bibb lettuce, torn
Method
- Whisk together first 7 ingredients in a small bowl to make a vinaigrette. Stir in pistachios, and set aside. Combine shrimp and next 5 ingredients. Add vinaigrette, tossing to coat. Serve salad in lettuce-lined serving bowls.
- Wine note: "This recipe has quite a combo of saltiness and sweetness--the melon gets sweeter when combined with salt. This would be great in summertime on the patio or by the pool. A little tricky here, but I would pair it with another one of Wine Spectator's 2004 Top 100--Kim Crawford's Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2004 ($17). It is razor-sharp with hints of lime, passion fruit, guava, and grapefruit." --Rosalind Johnson, Divas Uncorked, Massachusetts
