Heirloom Tomato and Watermelon Salad


Had this salad at Hungry Cat and loved it, so I tried to create a similar version. I’ve made it for great occasions like a picnic at the Hollywood Bowl and a BBQ. Normally, I prefer not to mix fruit with anything but who cares it’s simple, pure, and a tribute to the summer and local Farmer’s Market!




Watermelon ½ a big one or 1 small whole one


Heirloom Tomatoes 4 medium sized
(your choice, color is always a plus)


Mint, chiffonade cut 3 T


Red onion, thinly sliced ½ cup


Feta Cheese (French preferred) ½ cup or more if you please


Olive Oil ¼ cup


Red Wine Vinegar 1 T


Lemon juice 2 T


Salt and Pepper


1. Cut all tomato and watermelon into same size pieces, ½” x ½” in put in one bowl.




2. Add mint, red onion, feta cheese, olive oil, vinegar and lemon juice, mix gently until evenly incorporated.




3. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.




4. Serve chilled.
