Recipe: Watermelon and tomato salad

I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical about this recipe from “Big Vegan” by Robin Asbell. I looked at the ingredients and thought “How is this going to work??” but oddly enough….it does! Give it a try!

What you will need:

4 cups cubed seedless watermelon

1 large tomato (use yellow variety if you can find, otherwise a regular red one will do)

½ cup fresh basil

3 tbsp lemon juice

3 tbsp agave syrup (you can get this at health food or organics stores)

1 pinch of salt

Black pepper (optional)

Method:

Put the watermelon in a large bowl.

Slice the tomato into thin wedges and add to watermelon.

Slice the basil into thin strips and add to bowl.

In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, syrup and salt. Pour onto watermelon and tomato. Serve topped with black pepper.
