Chef notes
This bright and juicy salad combines two summertime favorites in one delicious dish. The colorful contrast of the yellow tomatoes and red watermelon makes for an exceptionally attractive presentation.
Swap option: I make this dish even simpler by using the honey-ginger white balsamic vinegar that I get from the LeRoux shop on Martha's Vineyard, which can be ordered here.
