    Serve up a big bowl of summer with an unusual take on fruit salad. It’s not often that you see raw tomatoes in a dessert, but give it a try: the flavor contrast is actually nice with the sweetness of the watermelon and strawberries.

    Just make sure you’re using fresh tomatoes that haven’t been refrigerated: mealy, tasteless tomatoes really would be gross (in anything, not just this).

    Watermelon Strawberry And Tomato Salad

    The dressing calls for avocado oil or light olive oil – that’s just a flavor tweak. Most people don’t really want a strong olive oil taste for the dressing in a fruit salad. Avocado oil has almost no flavor of its own, so it’s a very neutral taste. And “light” olive oil only has a very slight olive flavor (the “light” refers to the flavor only, not fat or calories: “light” olive oil has just as much fat and just as many calories as any other kind of olive oil, which is great since it’s all good fat and not something to be scared of).

    This salad would be an easy dessert for the summer months, especially when the tomatoes and the watermelon are both in season. Get them fresh from the farmers market and enjoy!
