Gingered Watermelon And Yellow Tomato Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the cubed tomatoes and watermelon in a large, nonreactive bowl and toss gently to combine. Add salt and let stand 5 to 10 minutes while you prepare the dressing.
• Whisk together the oil and vinegar and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Add the cheese to the tomatoes and watermelon, then the dressing, and toss gently to combine.

• Put the tomato and watermelon chunks in a bowl.
• For the honey vinaigrette: Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice and honey in a bowl, and add salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

Steps:

• Peel tomatoes: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cut an "X" on the bottom of each tomato, then place into boiling water for about 10 seconds. Remove and discard peel; chop tomatoes and set aside. Remove watermelon rind: Slice off the bottom and top, then stand it upright on its flattened base. Remove the rind by carefully cutting strips away from top to bottom, following the flesh of the watermelon. Once the rind has been removed, slice the watermelon into rounds, then into strips. Chop the strips into a dice the same size as the tomato pieces. There should be equal amounts of tomato and watermelon.
• Peel ginger with a vegetable peeler or the back of a knife; grate on a Microplane directly into the tomato-watermelon mixture. Add rice vinegar and olive oil. Sprinkle a reasonable amount of salt to balance the sweetness of the tomatoes and watermelon, making it savory. Add a few cranks of pepper and gently mix. Taste to adjust seasonings, and add more salt and grated ginger if necessary. Then gently toss again. Place in a serving bowl. Using scissors, thinly cut leaves of opal basil directly on top of the tomato-watermelon salad before serving.

Grill on one side only, until grill-marked, and the melon emits a slightly smoky aroma, about 2 minutes. Transfer rounds, grill-marked sides up, to a platter.
• Place the tomato batons or wedges in a large bowl and toss gently with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Season to taste with kosher salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
• Place a watermelon round, grill-marked side up, in the center of each of four appetizer plates. Top each with an equal portion of tomatoes.
