HAM AND WATERMELON SALAD WITH TOMATOES
Although summer is soon to go, watermelons are still in the market. Everyone loves watermelon, who doesn´t? It almost quenches our thirst especially on a hot day...
But, what else can we make out of watermelon?
Well, a tart that I always bake for dinner for which I used fruits gave me a thought... Why not make a salad out of watermelon?
Watermelon Tomato Salad
What you need for 2 persons:
2 cups of thinly sliced seeded watermelon
2 medium tomatoes, quartered
fresh basil leaves cut into strips
few whole basil leaves for topping
spring onions cut into strips
1 small red onions cut thinly into rings
6 slices of smoked ham or Prosciutto
For the vinaigrette:
2 tbsp table vinegar,
2 tbsp dark aceto balsamico
1 tsp worcester sauce
4 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp sugar (or 1 tbsp stevia powder - sugar substitute)
salt & pepper
1 tsp ground garlic (optional)
Arrange the watermelon slices and the quartered tomatoes as well as the pieces of prosciutto in a platter alternately so that they´re well distributed in place topping them with strips of spring onions, red onion rings, strips of basil.. You can also prepare 2 separate plates and divide the ingredients as well as the vinaigrette for each share.
Mix the vinaigrette ingredients well, adjusting the seasoning according to your taste... The taste should be a bit of sweet and sour... then, distribute the vinaigrette by means of a spoon all over the platter and garnish the top with whole basil leaves...
Voila!

A more generic #philippines will help your post get seen, is the reality of things. Your post is really awesome. Thank you sharing. I couldn't have thought of watermelon and ham! Mabuhay!
@surpassinggoogle ... Thank you for visiting. I keep on finding ways on how to get noticed on steemit since I'm still a newbie here.. I know I have good contents and wish to find steemians who would really read my posts. Thanks for the tip.. I'll keep that in mind. Mabuhay !
yes, the will happen over time. Some steemians use tags to look for posts as well. So #philippines helps matters. Keep on evolving. Shine! People need to connect to you and they only have you post as a mean to
@surpassinggoogle ... Indeed, very true... I used to send randowhales my SBD, I think 7 times .. until I found out that ROI is not really paying off what I invested to them... 1 SBD means that I get back around 1.10 per post and the curators get up to 20-25 %, so I probably didn´t break-even with my investment.... Thanks for your comments, surely these will help me along the way.
No problem!
Thanks @albertvhons for welcoming!
