Watermelon, Tomato, & Mozzarella Salad

There's nothing better on a hot, summer day (or really any day in Florida) than something both refreshing and satisfying.  That was the inspiration for this delicious recipe!

I could eat watermelon all day, every day. It's just one of those things that never gets old and always brings back memories of my childhood.  My family would always gather around our kitchen while my dad cut up watermelon over the sink.  By the way we grabbed it off of the cutting board and stuffed our faces, you'd think that it had been years since we had eaten anything.  We usually devoured about half and then saved the other half for later (literally, later...watermelon didn't last more than 24 hours in our house).  To this day, whenever the whole family is together, we always make sure there's watermelon in the fridge.

So because it's summer, and watermelon is back in season (woohoo!), I decided to combine a few of my favorite things: Tomato & mozzarella (another meal I could eat daily) with watermelon. 

Watermelon, Tomato, & Mozzarella Salad

What's In It?

-3 cups watermelon, cut into bite-size pieces

-1 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved

-1/4 cup finely chopped basil

-2 tbsp finely chopped mint

-2 tbsp olive oil

How Do I Make It?

Add watermelon, tomatoes, basil and mint to a large bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture and combine thoroughly.  Serve immediately or refrigerate.

I love this recipe for so many reasons-- ingredients that aren't so obscure (buying something for only one tbsp is the worst!), it's quick to put together, and it's so healthy and delicious! Enjoy!
