TOMATO AND WATERMELON SALAD WITH MOZZARELLA



Tomato and Watermelon Salad with Mozzarella image

Slice the tomatoes in big and small pieces for a more dramatic salad. For best results, make the salad without ever refrigerating the tomatoes, but with the watermelon ice cold from the refrigerator. The contrast of temperatures will give the salad an extra fresh taste. You will need Mozzarella in the "bag" with liquid; the liquid is used in the dressing.

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Time 15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 to 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into 12 small slices, liquid reserved
4 tablespoons pickle juice (from the jar)
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, tightly packed, stemmed, washed, dried and chopped
2 ounces coarse sea salt
2 ripe beefsteak (or any large variety heirloom) tomatoes, washed, dried and stemmed
1 pint cherry (Sweet 100's or heirloom) tomatoes, washed, dried and stemmed
Granulated sugar
Coarsely ground black pepper
The juice from 1/2 to 1 lemon, depending on personal taste
6 ounces cold watermelon, rind removed, seeded, cut into bite-size cubes and refrigerated until just before serving

Steps:

  • For the dressing: In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, mozzarella liquid and pickle juice. Whisk in the vinegar. Taste for seasoning. Set aside.
  • For the herb salt: Put the parsley and the salt in the bowl of the food processor and pulse to blend until they are integrated and the salt is green. Keep in a sealed jar.
  • To assemble the salad: Slice and arrange the tomatoes in a single layer on a flat surface. Drizzle the tomatoes with a little sugar, black pepper and the dressing. Top with a sprinkle of the parsley salt. Taste a tomato slice for seasoning. Squeeze the lemon juice on the watermelon. Season the mozzarella slices with parsley salt and a little dressing, as well. Arrange the tomatoes, mozzarella and watermelon cubes on 6 rectangular plates. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful ingredients. This will ensure that your salad is packed with flavor. Look for watermelons that are deep red and heavy for their size, tomatoes that are plump and juicy, mozzarella cheese that is soft and creamy, and basil and mint that are fresh and aromatic.
  • Cut the watermelon and tomatoes into small, bite-sized pieces. This will make them easier to eat and will help the flavors to meld together.
  • Tear the mozzarella cheese into small pieces. This will create a more rustic look and feel to the salad.
  • Chiffonade the basil and mint. This technique involves stacking the leaves on top of each other, rolling them up tightly, and then slicing them thinly. This will help to release the flavor of the herbs.
  • Dress the salad with a simple vinaigrette. A vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper is a classic choice for this salad. You can also add a touch of honey or Dijon mustard for a little extra flavor.
  • Serve the salad immediately. This salad is best enjoyed fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can assemble the salad and then dress it just before serving.

Conclusion:

This watermelon tomato mozzarella basil mint salad is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a light and healthy salad, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
