Yummy Yummy!! I made this recipe from “The Epicurious Cookbook: More than 250 of Our Best-Loved Four-Fork Recipes” by Tanya Steel and the Editors of Epicurious, and holy cow was it delicious. Whoever thought to put Tomatoes and Watermelon together is genius. It is really easy to make and super amazing. I highly recommend you try it. The recipe is below and also in the Side Dishes section on my website here.
