Grilled Watermelon and Tomato Salad image

Provided by Elaine Louie

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 WITH MOZZARELLA



Tomato and Watermelon Salad with Mozzarella image

Slice the tomatoes in big and small pieces for a more dramatic salad. For best results, make the salad without ever refrigerating the tomatoes, but with the watermelon ice cold from the refrigerator. The contrast of temperatures will give the salad an extra fresh taste. You will need Mozzarella in the "bag" with liquid; the liquid is used in the dressing.

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Time 15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 to 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into 12 small slices, liquid reserved
4 tablespoons pickle juice (from the jar)
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, tightly packed, stemmed, washed, dried and chopped
2 ounces coarse sea salt
2 ripe beefsteak (or any large variety heirloom) tomatoes, washed, dried and stemmed
1 pint cherry (Sweet 100's or heirloom) tomatoes, washed, dried and stemmed
Granulated sugar
Coarsely ground black pepper
The juice from 1/2 to 1 lemon, depending on personal taste
6 ounces cold watermelon, rind removed, seeded, cut into bite-size cubes and refrigerated until just before serving

Steps:

  • For the dressing: In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, mozzarella liquid and pickle juice. Whisk in the vinegar. Taste for seasoning. Set aside.
  • For the herb salt: Put the parsley and the salt in the bowl of the food processor and pulse to blend until they are integrated and the salt is green. Keep in a sealed jar.
  • To assemble the salad: Slice and arrange the tomatoes in a single layer on a flat surface. Drizzle the tomatoes with a little sugar, black pepper and the dressing. Top with a sprinkle of the parsley salt. Taste a tomato slice for seasoning. Squeeze the lemon juice on the watermelon. Season the mozzarella slices with parsley salt and a little dressing, as well. Arrange the tomatoes, mozzarella and watermelon cubes on 6 rectangular plates. Serve immediately.
