Watermelon, Tomato and Mint Salad Recipe-February 2024-www.zdask.com

　　What may seem like an incongruous mixture is actually a harmonious blend of ingredients and textures. There are few dishes that illustrate how the seemingly disparate flavors of sweet, sour, bitter, and salty can be successfully combined. One tip: While the melon should be chilled, the other ingredients are their most flavorful at room temperature, so combine the salad just before serving.

Ingredients

Makes 8 servings

　　1 (4- to 4 1/2-pound) piece watermelon, preferably seedless

　　3 large ripe tomatoes, preferably green or orange heirlooms, seeded and cut into 1-inch cubes

　　1 medium sweet onion, such as Vidalia, Maui, or Walla Walla, thinly sliced

　　4 tablespoons chopped fresh mint

　　1 cup (4 ounces) crumbled feta

Step 1

Cut off and discard the watermelon rind. Cut the watermelon into 1-inch cubes, removing any seeds as needed. Transfer to serving bowl. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours.

Step 2

Add the tomatoes, onion, and mint to the watermelon and toss gently. Add the feta and toss again. Serve immediately.
