1 serving.

INGREDIENTS:

For the Salad:
1 piece seedless watermelon, approximately 6” long x 4” wide x 1” high
1 thick slice red heirloom tomato
1 thick slice yellow heirloom tomato
3 thin slices red cherry tomato
3 paper-thin slices Serrano chili, unseeded
Celery leaves for garnish
Cyprus Sea Salt Flakes
Cyprus Black Sea Salt Flakes

For the Dressing:
Equal parts: Grapeseed oil, Olive oil, Rice Vinegar
Honey to taste
Fresh-squeezed lemon juice to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper to taste
Lots of fresh thyme leaves, picked from stem

DIRECTIONS:

For the Dressing:
In a bowl, whisk together the oils, honey, lemon juice, black pepper and fresh thyme. Taste, and adjust. The dressing should be sweet, tangy and savory. The savory element comes from the thyme, so make sure there’s plenty of thyme to balance the sweetness of the watermelon.

To Assemble the Salad:
Place the watermelon slice on the plate. Top with the red slice of heirloom tomato and the yellow slice of heirloom tomato. On top of the red slice of tomato, place one cherry tomato slice, then top that with one slice of Serrano chili.

On top of the yellow slice of tomato, place two cherry tomato slices, each topped with one slice of Serrano chili.

Whisk the dressing well, then generously spoon over the salad, allowing the dressing to spill over the sides of the salad. Garnish with celery leaves, Cyprus Sea Salt Flakes and Cyprus Black Sea Salt Flakes.
