Ingredients
- 1 lb. seedless watermelon
- 2 Kirby cucumbers
- 1/4 c. very thinly sliced red onion
- 1 1/2 tbsp. sherry vinegar
- 1/2 tsp. gochugaru (Korean chile powder) or Aleppo pepper
- 6 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- kosher salt

- 1 c. watercress leaves
- 2 tbsp. minced cilantro
- 2 tbsp. finely chopped dill
Instructions
- In a large glass or ceramic baking dish, gently toss the watermelon, cucumbers, red onion, vinegar, gochugaru, and 1/4 cup of the olive oil. Spread in an even layer and season with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil until shimmering. Add the shishitos and cook over high heat, tossing, until charred in spots and crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer the shishitos to the baking dish and toss.
- Transfer the salad to plates and garnish with the olives, feta, watercress, cilantro, and dill. Serve right away. Looking for more healthy recipes? Check out our collections of low-fat recipes, healthy recipes for the whole day, and vegan recipes.
