A GREAT "PEAK OF SUMMER" SALAD

Two farm fresh items are at their peak . . .

watermelons and tomatoes.

And their combination makes a fantastic summer salad.

Cut up a plump watermelon, medium pieces

(still warm from the field) . . .

grab some vine ripened tomatoes (red and yellow),

add a green one too, for color . . .

core and chop into bite-size pieces . . .

toss with chunks of goat cheese and fresh basil.

Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil,

and VOILA!

The combination is fantastic,

and a celebration of the best of a late summer harvest.
