Outstanding

The sweetness of the watermelon brings out the flavor of the yellow plum tomatoes, the feta adds a touch of salt, and the mint finishes the salad with a refreshing note. Cut the watermelon into wedges that are similar in size to the tomato slices.

Ingredients

  • 3  cups  (1/2-inch-thick) slices Old Ivory Egg tomato (about 1 pound)

  • 1/4  teaspoon  sea salt
  • 1/4  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper
  • 2  tablespoons  small mint leaves
  • 1  tablespoon  fresh lime juice
  • 1  teaspoon  extravirgin olive oil
  • 1/4  cup  (1 ounce) crumbled feta cheese

Preparation

1. Arrange tomato and watermelon alternately on a platter; sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper. Scatter mint over tomato mixture. Drizzle with juice and oil; top with cheese.

This recipe is perfect for a light summer lunch on the deck. It is tangy with just a bit of sweetness to encourage a hot summer day appetite. It is equally good as a starter salad for a BBQ or grilling either indoors or out. Any tasty tomato works, but heirlooms or cherrys are best. Watch out for seeded watermelons, but with a bit of extra messiness, they are very tasty too. This recipe requires the best freshest ingredients because each individual flavor floats along in harmony.04/29/09
