Easy and quick

Summer salad

This has to be THE quintessential summer salad. Sweet watermelon, vine-ripened tomatoes and juicy strawberries, on top of melt-in-your-mouth burrata, sprinkled with fresh herbs and pine nuts. It is simply delicious. I make extra so I can have leftovers for breakfast.

Fast and easy

Summer is not the time to be slaving away in the kitchen. This salad is made in 15 minutes start to finish. No need to turn on the oven!

Inspired by Andrew Weil's True Food recipe

I was inspired to make this salad after eating a similar one at True Food, that combines red and yellow watermelon, heirloom and cherry tomatoes, goat cheese and cashews. I use the same simple dressing that they use at True Foods, made with white balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Andrew Weil's cookbook, True Food: Seasonal, Sustainable, Simple and Pure includes their recipe for Watermelon and Tomato salad as well as a host of other great, fresh and flavorful recipes. I admire what they are doing at True Foods. After I have eaten there I feel I have done something good for my body. Isn't that the way it should always be after a meal?

Tip

Use kitchen shears to cut strips of mint. This method prevents bruising.

Variations

There are lots of variations on this salad. Use whatever is in season and flavorful. When peaches are in their prime, they make a great addition to this addictive salad. Print
