Celiac.com 09/19/2020 - With their red flesh and their deep connection to summer, tomatoes and watermelon are like brothers from another mother. Firm, sweet and juicy at their peak of ripeness, all you need to make them sing together, is some salt, spice, and a little fat. This recipe goes that distance, and then turns a corner with spiced turmeric oil. The result is a dish fit for royalty. For this recipe, it's important to use tomatoes and watermelon at room temperature, otherwise the coconut oil will seize, and culinary disaster will ensue. Ingredients: ¼ cup virgin coconut oil 1 tsp. coarsely crushed peppercorns 1 tsp. coarsely crushed coriander seeds ½ tsp. cumin seeds ½ tsp. ground turmeric ¼ large seedless watermelon (about 3 pounds), yellow is best, rind removed, flesh cut into ½" pieces 2 medium or large heirloom tomatoes, cut into ½" pieces 8 oz. mild feta cheese, cut into ½" pieces Flaky sea salt Directions: Heat coconut oil, peppercorns, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and turmeric in a small saucepan over medium until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Let turmeric oil cool slightly. Arrange watermelon, tomato, and feta on a platter. Drizzle turmeric oil evenly over and sprinkle with salt. Pretend you are some kind of Raj from a bygone era, and enjoy. Read more at Bonappetit.com

Watermelon, Mango, and Avocado Salad (Gluten-Free)
Jefferson Adams posted an article in Kids Recipes (Gluten-Free)
I can’t say enough about the wonder of no-cook meals. When the weather heats up and you want to spend as little time as possible in a hot kitchen, easy to make salads like these are perfect. This particular salad is so delicious, refreshing and juicy, that you’ll happily welcome a few drips running down the side of your mouth. Tossing in some arugula or baby greens is a nice compliment, but the fruit stands beautifully on its own. Ingredients: 4 cups watermelon, 1 or 2-inch chunks 2 mangos, chopped 2 avocado, chopped 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved 1 red onion, thinly sliced ¼ cup mint ¼ cup olive oil 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar 1 lime, juice and zest Salt and pepper to taste Directions: In a small bowl, combine vinegar with lime juice and zest. Whisk in olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add sliced onions to the bowl and marinate for about 10 minutes. In the meantime, add watermelon, mango, avocado and tomato chunks to a large bowl. Toss with dressing and onions. Finish with mint, thinly sliced or chopped.- 2 comments

Summer's almost over, but if you want a quick, easy to make salad that tastes amazing and makes you feel like you're basking in the July sun, then try this little trick: Toss some feta cheese over watermelon chunks. Then sit back and enjoy as the looks on your guests faces move from puzzled to intrigued to outright delighted. Be sure to relish the 'Mmmms' and 'Ooooos' and 'Awwws' that follow as they make their pleasure known. Yes, you read it right: Watermelon and feta cheese. With a simple recipe like this, it's hard to know who gets first credit. I had it at a friend's house over the summer, and loved it. My friend topped off his version with fresh mint and red onions, which I don't think add much to the salad. This version omits the onions, and substitutes arugula for the mint. If love mint, or onion, then by all means toss in some into the salad. This recipe serves about four people, so scale it according to your needs. Ingredients: ¼ large watermelon, cut into 1-inch chunks 2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled l small bunch of arugula (or mint), chopped Directions: For best flavor, choose a seeded watermelon with a yellow patch on one side to show that it has been allowed to ripen on the vine. I like to chill the watermelon first. Any good feta cheese will do for this recipe. Remove and discard as many black seeds as possible. Put the watermelon and feta in a salad bowl and toss to combine. Serve immediately.
