Watermelon‘tuna’ Zen Bowl With Sweet Sour Chili Honey Dressing
Watermelon‘tuna’ Zen Bowl With Sweet Sour Chili Honey Dressing

Inspired by the red tuna tataki dishes of Japan, this salad recipe has a pungent, umami-heavy, aromatic marinade which fresh watermelon and green squash are marinaded in, to transform their flavor into something sweet as well as savory. From there, two dressings are made to add texture and additional flavor profiles: one uses honey, ginger, and sweet chili sauce to bring sweetness and a hint of warmth, while the second is more umami-based and sour. The latter, which is a thicker dressing, provides additional texture. Fresh leaves are also added for a satisfying crunch.
