Recipe of the Month: Watermelon & Red Onion Salad with Bottarga

Watermelon & Red Onion Salad with Bottarga

There are a lot of great flavors playing off each other in this seasonal Sardinian dish.  But the real star is the bottarga, which adds a briny-ness that heightens and accents the freshness of the melon and mint.  At Babbo, chefs like to slice the bottarga paper-thin and then drape it atop the salad so its subtle flavors and texture can be savored as it dissolves on the tongue.  The unexpected mix of sweet & savory is a delight to the senses.
