Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more
1 (4-pound) seedless watermelon, rind removed, cut into 1/2"-thick slices
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
4 multicolored heirloom tomatoes, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more
6 ounces feta, thinly sliced (about 1 1/4 cups)

Steps:

Prepare a grill for medium-high heat or heat a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high; oil grate or pan.
Using a 2" diameter ring cutter or thin drinking glass, cut watermelon into circles; you should have 20-22 pieces (reserve scraps for another use). Season watermelon on both sides with 1/2 tsp. salt. Grill watermelon until well charred, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside until cool to the touch, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, toss tomatoes, 1 Tbsp. oil, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a large bowl.
Layer watermelon, tomato mixture, and cheese in alternating layers on a platter, draining any extra liquid from tomatoes before using. Drizzle with oil, season with pepper, and serve.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

3 small heirloom tomatoes, cut into cubes
2 small cucumbers, peeled, seeded, and cut into cubes
1 lb. (2 cups) seedless watermelon, cut into cubes
8 oz. feta cheese, cubed
1/2 cup pitted black olives, coarsely chopped
1 tsp. finely chopped fresh mint (Reserve extra for garnish, if desired.)
*Torn spinach leaves (optional)
Dressing:
1 Tbsp. aged balsamic vinegar (or red wine vinegar)
2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp. honey (or 1 1/2 tsp. granulated sugar)
1 tsp. finely chopped basil
Fine sea salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste

Steps:

Combine cheese*, spinach*, olives, and mint with cubed ingredients. Dressing: Combine oil, vinegar, honey, salt, pepper, and basil in a small, lidded container. Shake very well to combine ingredients. Drizzle lightly over salad ingredients. (I use little more than half of the dressing.) Stir gently. Refrigerate or serve. May garnish salad lightly with additional chopped mint leaves. *Unless serving immediately, do not add cheese or spinach in advance. Just before serving, mix cheese and spinach into the dressed salad.

Tips:

Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes and watermelon for the best results.
If you don't have feta cheese, you can substitute another type of cheese, such as goat cheese or mozzarella.
Add some chopped fresh herbs, such as basil or mint, for extra flavor.
Serve the salad immediately, or chill it for later.

Conclusion:

This tomato, watermelon, and feta salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for summer. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give this one a try!
