ENSALADA DE SANDíA Y TOMATE (WATERMELON TOMATO SALAD WITH GOAT CHEESE AND CORN NUTS)



Ensalada de Sandía y Tomate (Watermelon Tomato Salad with Goat Cheese and Corn Nuts) image

Even though this salad is all about summery from-the-farm watermelon and tomatoes, the corn nuts make the dish. Their salt and crunch accentuate the juicy sweetness of the fruit.

Categories     dinner, lunch, quick, salads and dressings

Time 15m

Yield 4 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Four 3/4 inch inch thick slices of seedless watermelon, as needed
4 ripe heirloom tomatoes, mixed colors, cut into batons with an apple corer, or sliced into wedges
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
4 teaspoons aged balsamic vinegar
8 small leaves fresh opal basil
8 small leaves of fresh green basil
Maldon sea salt, for garnish

Steps:

  • Prepare a charcoal grill outdoors for direct grilling over high heat. Or, indoors, place a grill pan over high heat until very hot.
  • Using a 3 1/2 inch cookie cutter, cut the watermelon flesh into four rounds. Place on the grill grates or in grill pan, directly over the heat. 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. Drizzle each salad with 1/2 tablespoon of remaining olive oil, and top each with 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar. Garnish with opal basil and green basil and a few grains of Maldon salt, and serve.

TOMATO AND WATERMELON SALAD



Tomato and Watermelon Salad image

When it comes time for summer, I can't resist making a salad bursting with ingredients from the local markets. For best results, make the salad without ever refrigerating the tomatoes but with the watermelon cold from the refrigerator. The contrast of temperatures will give the salad an extra fresh taste.

Gingered Watermelon and Yellow Tomato Salad image

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

a 4-pound piece watermelon (preferably seedless)
2 pounds vine-ripened tomatoes (about 6 medium; preferably yellow)
1 teaspoon coarse salt (preferably sea salt)
1/2 small red onion
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, or to taste
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh gingerroot
1/2 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

  • Remove rind and any seeds from watermelon. Cut fruit into 1 1/2-inch pieces and put in a large bowl. Cut tomatoes into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Add tomatoes and salt to watermelon, tossing to combine. Let mixture stand at cool room temperature 3 hours.
  • In a colander set over a small saucepan drain mixture and transfer to a bowl. Simmer liquid until reduced to about 2 tablespoons and cool completely. Halve onion and thinly slice enough to measure 1/4 cup. Add onion to watermelon mixture. (For best results do not chill salad, as it will lose flavor.) In a small bowl stir together reduced watermelon-tomato juice, lime juice, gingerroot, and sugar.
  • Just before serving, toss salad with juice mixture.
