Hot Melon Salad
Recipe courtesy Alton Brown, 2004

Ingredients
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small red onion, sliced into thin rounds
16 ounces medium-diced melon, approximately 2 cups
1 tablespoon fresh basil, cut into chiffonade
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
1 tablespoon pine nuts, toasted

Instructions

Heat a large saute pan or wok over high heat. Once the
pan is hot, add the olive oil, followed by the onion, and saute for 1 to 2
minutes, moving the pan continually. Add the melon and saute for another 1 to 2
minutes or until the melon starts to take on color. Add the basil, salt, and
pepper and continue to cook for another minute. Add the vinegar to the pan and
toss to combine. Pour mixture onto a serving platter, sprinkle with the cheese and
pine nuts, and serve immediately.
