Watermelon, Tomato and Cheese Salad

"What's the watermelon doing in this recipe? That's what I asked myself too, but it's an awfully good combination! I've made this several times, and it's based off of a recipe I cut out of the NY Times a while ago. Really nice for a spring or summer side dish."

Ingredients

  • 2 1⁄2 cups seedless watermelon, cut in 1 inch cubes or balls (reserve juice)
  • 1 1⁄2 cups cherry tomatoes or 1 1/2 cups grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1⁄2 1/2 cup gorgonzola or 1/2 cup Roquefort cheese, crumbled
  • 1⁄2 cup scallion, minced
  • salt
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar
  • 1 pinch cayenne
  • 1⁄2 cup cilantro or 1/2 cup parsley, roughly chopped

Directions

  • Combine watermelon, tomato, cheese, scallions and salt in a bowl.
  • Whisk together 2 tablespoons of watermelon juice, oil, vinegar and cayenne and gently toss with salad.
  • Garnish with cilantro or parsley.
