Summer Fresh Watermelon and Tomato Salad

Celebrating Watermelon Day!

By Charlotte Linde July 16, 2019

Nothing screams summer like watermelon. Although we love watermelon just sliced up as the perfect snack, we also love finding fun ways to incorporate this juicy deliciousness into summertime meals. This month we are bringing you a salad recipe with an ingredient combination that may surprise you and your taste buds! We bet this one will be a new favorite. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups cubed seedless watermelon
  • 2 cups cubed tomatoes (we love Campari)
  • ½ cup halved and thinly-sliced red onion 
  • Handful of torn fresh basil
  • ¼ cup avocado oil
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • Feta cheese for topping/garnish (we also like it with shaved Parmesan)
  • Kosher salt and cracked pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper and whisk together.
  2. Add watermelon, tomato, onion, and basil and toss until coated.
  3. Top with cheese of choice and serve at room temperature or chill for later. 

Notes: Add the cheese when serving so it doesn't get soggy. Serve with crusty bread to make it a light and fresh lunch!
