These straightforward and minimal components allow for quick but stylish entertainment. The salmon’s beautiful, somewhat sweet coating is created during the final broiling by caramelizing the sugar.

Reviews
We had purchased a seedless watermelon and being that we are a family of 2 — we had a lot of watermelon. This was excellent. And carried over to lunch the next day.
Summer in a bowl
Made it for family. Everyone loved it! I didn’t change anything

Easy and tastes great! Surprising combination!
I made a couple of changes – used balsamic vinegar, and instead of feta, I cut up cubes of mozzarella. Also, threw in some pine nuts. It was really delicious!!!
This is so easy, and wow the flavors. Everyone craves it and asks to bring it to pot lucks as well. Had this many times, including finishing it for breakfast yesterday.
I used 1/3 Cup feta — it looked to be enough. I didn’t have white balsamic, so I used regular balsamic. It darkens it a little. Tastes great!
This salad is light and refreshing. Love it!
Easy, delicious and perfect for summer dinner party.
Maybe it’s because I didn’t let this salad chill for a few hours, but it was like the flavors never mixed. Don’t get me wrong this is a unique combination and it wasn’t bad. But I just never mixed to give a totally unique flavor.
I used heirloom tomatoes and drained the liquid off of the water melon. I will definitely make it again, its healthy, refreshing and delicious.
I used goat cheese in place of the feta. Added walnuts an served it on mixed greens.
Loved this salad! So easy and super yummy! Who knew tomatoes and watermelon would go so well together. The store didn’t have any regular feta so I used tomato basil flavored and it was still great.
Absolutely delicious and refreshing! Instead of using only watermelon, I used half cantaloupe as well to add some different color to it and a little more depth to the flavor. I also used orange, yellow, and red cherry tomatoes for more color. I added red onion, probably about half of a small one. I also added some red pepper flakes (which I add to everything) and it gave a really nice extra layer of flavor.
Excellent
Great Fourth of July App! It was delicious n refreshing!
Perfect summer salad! I served it with grilled tilapia. New family favorite!
I absolutely loved this. I wanted to make a lighter, nutritious salad to go with a heavily unhealthy meal and this fit the bill. I used large tomatoes cut into cubes and added about 4 green onions. Delicious! I think it would help to let the tomatoes and watermelon drain a bit because the mixture I made tonight was very juicy. And you really need to use a flavorful watermelon. Thanks!
Delicious!!!!
The first time I made this with fresh tomatoes and basil from my garden, watermellon from the store and no feta. My friends and family couldn’t stop eating it! The second time I made it, I just used the watermellon and basil because I was out of tomatoes and feta. Equally delicious. The balsamic vinegar really does amazing things to the flavor of the watermellon!
