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.

  • 3 cups (1/2-inch-thick) slices Old Ivory Egg tomato (about 1 pound)
  • 3 cups (1/2-inch thick) seedless watermelon wedges (about 12 ounces)
  • 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

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.
