TOMATO AND WATERMELON SALAD
If the idea of tomatoes and watermelon together sounds odd to you, this dish will be a revelation. There is a saying that what grows together goes together, and in this case it is true. If you think of tomatoes as a fruit, which they are botanically, this combination makes more sense. Seasonality, however, is the key. I make this salad only in the summer, when tomatoes, watermelon, and cucumbers are at their peak of flavor. Rich, creamy Hass avocadoes are included to lend a nice contrast of flavor and texture. I always toss this salad together before serving, but for the photo opposite I was inspired to create a painstaking mosaic of the ingredients. If you're so inclined, feel free, but don't say I didn't warn you-it takes a lot of time.

[email protected]I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad didn't turn out as good as the picture. The watermelon was too watery and the dressing was too bland.

[email protected]The salad was okay, but I think it would have been better with a different kind of cheese. The feta cheese was a bit too salty for my taste.

[email protected]This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less watermelon next time.
