Blueberry Watermelon Salad Rollups

This salad reminds me of Yellowstone National Park because it's slightly bizarre (tomato & mint?), but it's incredibly tasty, refreshing, surprising and makes you want to return to it again and again.  Give it a real twist by making rollups with rice paper or enjoy it tossed in a salad bowl.  Either way it's terrific! | www.lakesidetable.com

Ingredients

  • 3 cups seedless watermelon diced
  • 1 head of romaine chopped
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 cup mint minced
  • 1 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 1/2 cup cucumber seeded and diced
  • 1 cup toasted pecans chopped (optional)
  • 6 rice spring roll wrappers
  • Salad Dressing
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar the cheaper the better!
  • 1/3 cup fresh herbs minced (I like a mix of parsley and thyme)
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine all salad ingredients in a large bowl and toss.
  2. Gently wet rice paper disks and lay flat on a clean surface.
  3. Take approximately 2/3 cup of salad and put into the center of the rice disk.
  4. Take the left edge and fold it over the salad, then take the top and bottom edges to the center and continue to roll it to the right.  This may take a little practice! Have fun with it and try to keep your rollup tight. :)
  5. For the Salad Dressing
  6. Whisk* together all the ingredients except the olive oil.
  7. While continuing to whisk, slowly add the olive oil drop by drop until you've added about 2 tablespoons.  Then you can add it in a light stream until you've added it all.  This will make an emulsion and your dressing won't separate.
  8. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Recipe Notes

*If you have a mini food processor or hand emersion blender, these work well too!  Blitz everything together but the olive oil.  Then slowly add the olive oil last, blending or blitzing the whole time until completely combined.  Add salt and pepper to taste.

If rice paper isn't handy, don't let that stop you.  Toss and enjoy this salad the traditional way in a bowl or a plate!
