This new spin on the classic tomato mozzarella salad is inspired from an East Hampton restaurant, where I enjoyed a version of a tomato and watermelon salad. My adaptation includes crisp cucumber, juicy watermelon, crumbled feta cheese, fresh mint, and basil as a topping.
Pick the freshest, ripe tomatoes you can find. Sometimes I go for slices of heirlooms that are as colorful as they are sweet and delicious. Beefsteak tomatoes are also good here. The tomatoes are the star component, so it’s worth extra time to select the perfectly ripe ones for this recipe.
