Cherry Tomato and Watermelon Salad image

If in-season cherry tomatoes are unavailable, substitute vine-ripened cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes, avoiding pale, unripe ones. The amount of liquid given off by the tomatoes will depend on their ripeness. If you have less than 1/2 cup of juice after spinning, proceed with the recipe using the entire amount of juice and reduce it to 3 tablespoons as directed (cooking time will be shorter).
