Garnish with cubed avocado and crumbled feta, they complement the fresh flavors really well. Also a great way to add substance and make this a satisfying, summery meal in and of itself.
Amazing ! and in 5 minutes ! Added some tabasco for a peppery twist.
I found this to be too sweet. I don’t know if I would adjust with more lemon juice or not, as it’s very liquid as it is (and I didn’t use ice cubes). As it is, it’s not sufficient as a meal, which is why people have added extra to bulk it up. Maybe a better balance between tomatoes and watermelon would help for flavour. Don’t be afraid of the garlic — it actually brings the watermelon and tomato flavours together nicely.
Excellent. Garnished with cubed avocado, feta, scallions, and diced nectarines. Summery!
Do I need to peel the tomatoes first?
