Servings: 4

 

Ingredients:

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

1/2 cup good quality goat cheese

1/2 cup roasted salted pistachios, chopped

1/8 cup shaved or thinly sliced red onion

4 2x2x2-inch watermelon squares or circles

Equipment:

microwave

sauce pan

Cooking instruction summary:

Spread the watermelon squares with a thin 1/4-inch layer of goat cheese. If the goat cheese you're using is crumbly or difficult to spread, heat it in the microwave for 5-10 seconds and it should spread easily, like cake frosting.Top the goat cheese with a layer of chopped pistachios, and top that with 1/4 of the shaved red onion.Turn the balsamic vinegar into a reduction by cooking it in a saucepan set over medium high heat until it has thickened and turned syrupy. Keep your eye on it, as it reduces very slowly at first, and thickens up quickly at the end (and can burn in a matter of seconds). Drizzle the balsamic reduction over the watermelon and the plate. Serve and enjoy!
