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 and juicy watermelon and tomatoes for the best flavor.
If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried oregano or basil.
For a more flavorful salad, marinate the tomatoes in olive oil, vinegar, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before assembling the salad.
If you are using a large watermelon, you may need to use two or three tomatoes.
Feel free to add other ingredients to the salad, such as cucumbers, bell peppers, or feta cheese.

Conclusion:

This watermelon, tomato, and feta salad is a light and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The watermelon and tomatoes are sweet and juicy, while the feta cheese adds a salty and tangy flavor. The herbs add a pop of freshness, and the balsamic vinegar dressing ties all the flavors together. This salad is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
