Battle Melon/Red Pepper Flakes

by Charley

FoodieFights.com. picked me to battle 5 other chef in this week’s competition with Melon and Red pepper flakes. This is one of my favorite things to do: just be given a few ingredients and go from there.

Letting me loose in a supermarket with just two ingredients can be dangerous. Not only did spend about 45 minutes in there, I dreamed up the best Watermelon and Red Pepper combination. But just when I thought I had it all figured out, I stumbled upon Humbolt Fog. So here it is…

Grilled Watermelon Watercress and Radish Red Pepper Salad, with Humbolt Fog Goat Cheese dressed in a Mango Red Pepper Vinaigrette

I have to admit to a particular weakness for grilled watermelon and for a really good goat cheese. This looks and sounds really fantastic. It makes me want to go try it for myself.

Interesting, very interesting. Hey, I’d eat it. Yum.

I must tell you my husband just confessed to me that I almost lost his vote because of your Humbolt Fog goat cheese, the traitor! Lucky for him he came to his senses before he clicked ;) Good luck with your yummy salad!

Okay honestly you had me at Grilled Watermelon and then lost me at Watercress. I’m sure it’s good but it’s hard to tell from the photo. The name is entirely too verbose and takes a couple of readings to understand the contents.

That being said … It looks great and would definitely be ordered if I saw it on a menu (hopefully with a smaller name … man that name kills me.) Good luck at the battle!
