Heirloom Tomato and Melon Salad
Serves 6 to 8
Time 20 min
Use any ripe heirloom tomatoes in this scrumptious summer salad, but we especially love varieties like Evergreen for a nice color contrast to the red and orange melon. A single hot chile pepper in the dressing delivers a nice kick without overwhelming the other flavors.
