Sweet and Sour Watermelon Carpaccio
With the summer heat, we love to enjoy fresh and refreshing dishes. For dinner, I suggest an unusual appetizer: watermelon carpaccio, topped with a vinaigrette made from apple cider vinegar, honey, and salt. Pour the vinaigrette over thinly sliced watermelon and let it marinate in the fridge for a couple of hours. This way, the juice released from the fruit will mix with the vinaigrette, creating an amazing flavor. Before serving, drain the carpaccio, arrange it on plates, and finish with fresh mint or, if you prefer, a bit of hot chili pepper—I made both versions. My tip is to enjoy it with cheese; I paired it with Caciocavallo Silano cheese and the result was irresistible! What do you think?
