CHERRY TOMATO AND WATERMELON SALAD
If in-season cherry tomatoes are unavailable, substitute vine-ripened cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes, avoiding pale, unripe ones. The amount of liquid given off by the tomatoes will depend on their ripeness. If you have less than 1/2 cup of juice after spinning, proceed with the recipe using the entire amount of juice and reduce it to 3 tablespoons as directed (cooking time will be shorter).

TOMATO AND WATERMELON SALAD
If the idea of tomatoes and watermelon together sounds odd to you, this dish will be a revelation. There is a saying that what grows together goes together, and in this case it is true. If you think of tomatoes as a fruit, which they are botanically, this combination makes more sense. Seasonality, however, is the key. I make this salad only in the summer, when tomatoes, watermelon, and cucumbers are at their peak of flavor. Rich, creamy Hass avocadoes are included to lend a nice contrast of flavor and texture. I always toss this salad together before serving, but for the photo opposite I was inspired to create a painstaking mosaic of the ingredients. If you're so inclined, feel free, but don't say I didn't warn you-it takes a lot of time.

- Cut the watermelon and tomatoes into bite-sized pieces: This will make them easier to eat and will help the flavors to meld together.
- Add some sweetness to the salad: You can do this by adding a drizzle of honey or agave nectar, or by incorporating some chopped fruit, such as grapes or berries.
- Add some acidity to the salad: This will help to balance out the sweetness of the watermelon and tomatoes. You can do this by adding a squeeze of lemon or lime juice, or by using a vinegar-based dressing.
- Add some salt and pepper to taste: This will help to enhance the flavors of the other ingredients.
- Serve the salad chilled: This will make it even more refreshing on a hot day.
