SWEET PICKLED RED WINE WATERMELON SALAD

SEE IF YOU CAN ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS.
What is the easiest way to make a salad without preparing a separate dressing?

What looks like watermelon but tastes like a mild sweet pickle?

There is one answer to both of those questions – make an easy red wine pickled watermelon salad.  The watermelon chunks marinate in a red wine peppercorn liquid, producing a mild-flavored savory fruit to mix into your fresh baby greens.  Then just use some of the liquid for a dressing, garnish with toasted walnuts, and goat cheese crumbles.  Want a stronger tasting watermelon pickle, just double the pickling ingredients.  Don’t you just love recipes that are quick, easy, and just a little daring.
