Salty and sweet, with a hint of acidity, it’s simply summer in a
bowl. This watermelon and tomato salad has significant levels of vitamins
A, B6, C, and lots of lycopene and antioxidants. Its high water content
can also help keep you hydrated during the hot days of summer. For best
results find firm heirloom tomatoes, use chilled watermelon cubes, and
keep the dressing light.
