Ingredients

SERVINGS: 4-6 Serving(s)
  • 3 cups cubed sourdough bread
  • 3 cups watermelon, cubed or sliced into wedges
  • 2 medium tomatoes, sliced into wedges
  • ½ large seedless cucumber, sliced
  • large handful fresh basil leaves
  • large handful fresh mint leaves
  • flaky sea salt
  • fresh cracked pepper
  • 1 lemon
  • Texas extra-virgin olive oil

Preparation

Toast the cubes of sourdough bread at 300° until just crisp.

On a large platter, combine the watermelon, tomato wedges, cucumber slices and herbs. I like to leave the herbs whole if the leaves are smaller, but if they are larger than bite-size feel free to chop them. Add the bread last.

Right before serving, drizzle generously with olive oil and fresh lemon juice. Finish with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt and pepper.
