Mid-Summer we went to a fairly new restaurant here in Denver called Hedge Row. Everything we ate there was delicious and presented very nicely. One dish captured our attention over the others, that was their Tomato Melon Salad with white balsamic and olive oil dressing. So simple and refreshing. Tomatoes are still out in the stores and a wonderful dish to keep summer going into Fall.

Tomato Melon Salad Recipe
You could make this salad for however many people you wanted. The photo was designed to serve one or two people. Just a wedge of watermelon and honeydew, a bunch of tomatoes cut in half with a sprinkle of micro greens or basil. The restaurant served their salad with a sweet sesame cracker that they made themselves—very delicious!! Since I did not make a homemade sesame cracker I showed it with a store bought one that gave the salad a bit of crunch.
1 small wedge of watermelon cubed
1 small wedge of honeydew cubed
22 tomatoes of varying colors and sizes sliced in half
Toss tomatoes in 3oz of white balsamic with a 1 1/2 oz of olive oil-then plate
5 basil leaves (you could use more if you like) or micro greens
One to two sesame crackers cracked
