Tomato Cucumber and Watermelon Salad

This is one of the best salads I've ever made. I got the recipe out of a magazine and we loved it. Very refreshing for a hot summer's day. I thought I'd share it. It serves 4.


  • 2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 Tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 Teaspoon lime zest
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onions
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tomatoes on the vine, diced
  • 2 English cucumbers, diced
  • 3 cups diced watermelon

Whisk oil, lime juice, half the cilantro, green onions, mint, cayenne pepper and salt to make the dressing.

Combine the tomatoes, cucumbers and watermelon and the remaining cilantro in a bowl and toss with the dressing.

We like it with steak but it will go with anything you're grilling. (The dressing also makes a good marinade for meat.)
