Summer Watermelon and Tomato Salad
I have been moving, traveling and enjoying the summer, and it has been hard to sit down and write, so I apologize about it, but i am ready to get back into it. I hope that all of you are enjoying you summer.
During the summer, which is my favorite part of the year, I am always looking to make some fun salads. Here is one of my favorites; it is refreshing, sweet and savory. You can server this inside your watermelon half if you want to do something cool. If you want some protein in it you can even add some prosciutto or capicolla.
