Marinated Watermelon and Cherry Tomatoes

A nice tasting summer salad instead of Potato salad or Pasta salad that will refresh your taste buds on a hot weekend cookout. Great with hamburgers or a nice grilled steak, even shrimp or fresh fish. Serve chilled for the best flavor and if you like a Watermelon Martini, you're in for a treat. 

Ingredients:
10 cups of cubed seedless watermelon
¼ cup of fresh lime juice
1 ½ pounds of cherry tomatoes cut in half
1 small red onion sliced thin and cut in half
1 sweet red pepper cut into ½ in squares
3 to 4 fresh radishes sliced thinly
½ cup of fresh basil leaves torn up
2 tablespoons of olive oil or truffle oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
1} Combine the cut up watermelon pieces with lime juice in a large bowl! Let sit, stirring occasionally, at room temperature for 15 minutes. This will absorb the lime juice as it sits.

2} Add the tomatoes, onions, basil, red peppers, radishes, basil, Oil and ¾ teaspoon sea salt and ¼ teaspoon of fresh ground black pepper and toss and combine. Place in the refrigerator until chilled about ½ hour and serve. 

3}If you like Feta Cheese you could add a cup to the salad and even a cup of chopped Walnut or dried cranberries, it's up to you. Enjoy!
