Heirloom tomato, Watermelon, Feta Salad...Deliciousness!

  
Ingredients
2 seedless watermelons, peeled & cut into chunks
*8 organic local heirloom tomatoes (various colors and sizes), cut up
24 fresh mint and basil leaves
2 tablespoons red onion, sliced paper-thin
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar (key! i add even more)
Feta cheese, optional (every salad is better with cheese)
Coarse sea salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste

*a little note about the tomatoes: heirlooms are far better than regular tomatoes if you can find them. i get mine at the farmer's market and whole foods. they're practically dessert! 

and if you're feeling thirsty and just craving watermelon in general, like i am, throw cubes of seedless watermelon in the blender and pour over ice...watermelon juice. yum, yum, yum! try it at least once before the season's over.
