Tomatoes AND Watermelon?! 🍅🍉 We highly recommend making this MARINATED WATERMELON TOMATO SALAD:
INGREDIENTS
- 5 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon dried mint
- 1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 6 cups 1-inch watermelon cubes (seedless watermelon works best)
- 3 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 medium shallots, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup roughly torn fresh basil leaves
- 1/2 cup roughly torn fresh mint leaves
INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1
Whisk together lime juice, honey, fresh mint, ginger, dried mint, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt in a small bowl. Drizzle in oil, whisking, until blended. Place watermelon and tomatoes in a large ziplock plastic bag. Pour in lime dressing, squeeze air out of bag, and seal. Chill 30 minutes.
STEP 2
Transfer watermelon and tomatoes to a large bowl, reserving marinade in bag. Toss watermelon mixture with shallots, 1/4 cup of the reserved marinade, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Gently toss in basil and mint. Serve remaining marinade on the side as a dressing.
