Watermelon & Tomato Salad

At Nod, we believe your home should be a celebration of family. We'll be featuring our Managing Director, Michelle, at home celebrating her own family with recipes, crafts and décor created by our friend Sweet Paul. 

I love to have a simple yet interesting go-to summer salad recipe each year.  This year I’m thrilled by the combination of herbaceous fresh tomatoes coupled with supremely sweet watermelon.  The simple dressing of lemon juice and oil brightens everything up into a salad that sings!  Bring it to your next potluck barbecue and I’m SURE you’ll be going home with an empty bowl!

Serves 4

1/4 watermelon
24 red and yellow cherry tomatoes, cut in half
4 cups watercress
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
salt and pepper

1. Use a melon baller and make a bunch of watermelon balls.
2. Place them in a bowl with the tomatoes and watercress. 
3. In a small bowl mix together olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. 
4. Pour the dressing over the salad, mix and serve.
