Tomato and watermelon salad: If the idea of tomatoes and watermelon together sounds odd to you, this dish will be a revelation. There is a saying that what grows together goes together, and in this case it is true. Seasonality, however, is the key. This salad should only be made in the summer, when tomatoes, watermelon, and cucumbers are at their peak of flavor. I included rich, creamy Hass avocadoes to lend a nice contrast of flavor and texture. Any combination of fresh herbs can be chopped and added to the salad along with a simple balsamic vinaigrette (I used basil, tarragon, chives, and cilantro). It can be easily tossed together before serving, but for my dinner the other night I was inspired to create a painstaking mosaic of the ingredients. If you're so inclined, feel free, but don't say I didn't warn you it takes a lot of time. (Taken with instagram)
