When it is summertime I can't have enough watermelon in the house. My two girls can probably eat a whole one by themselves. I am so lucky because we have a local store that sells them for $3.50!! Yes, that is right. So, needless to say I buy them at least three at a time.
What you want to look for is a firm, green-skin watermelon. I prefer the seedless. But, if you buy one with seeds you can always have a pit-spitting contest. That can amuse the kids for a little while outside.
All of you who watched Top Chef Season 5 know that I won a challenge with my Jersey Tomato Watermelon Feta Salad. I have been making this salad for about nine years. My customers love it!! The sweetness of the tomatoes and watermelon combined with the saltiness of the feta makes a perfect pairing.
But again, sometimes keeping it simple is just as great!! Olive oil, fresh basil, fluer de sel. If you buy some great olive oils, sea salts, and maybe some aged balsamic and keep them in your pantry. fixing up summer Jersey tomatoes is easy and quick!
Ingredients (add as little or as much as you like):
Jersey tomatoes sliced
Watermelon batonette cut
Greek feta crumbled
Sea salt (you can find at a good gourmet store)
Aged balsamic drizzle
Extra virgin olive oil
