We love this dish for the sweet, crisp watermelon balanced with bright, fresh goat cheese, a cooling and refreshing starter on a warm day. Prepare the ingredients in advance; then toss the watermelon with dressing just before serving.

Yield:

6 servings

Ingredients

1 4- to 5-pound seedless watermelon
1 small red onion, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
4 ounces crumbled goat cheese (see “Note,” below)2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh mint leaves

Instructions

Cut the rind away from the watermelon and cut the flesh into ½-inch-thick wedges. Arrange the melon on a serving platter and sprinkle with the onion, goat cheese, and mint.
