Watermelon Salad with Rosewater
Adapted from Super Natural Every Day
This recipe was taught in one of our City Market cooking classes on Inspired Vegetarian food, with instructor Jessica Bongard from Sweet Lime Cooking Studio. While the recipe is called a salad, it functions equally well as a dessert, with its sweet medjool dates and pistachios.
