Ingredients for Tomato Watermelon Salad Serves 4
Tomatoes 4 pieces Cucumbers 1 piece Watermelon 1/2 piece (medium size about 0.8kg) Avocados 2 pieces Basil 20 gr Cilantro 20 gr Seasoning 10 gr (olive oil/vinegar/salt/black pepper)
How to Choose Fresh Watermelon
- Red, sweet watermelons are usually ripe watermelons with small and withered stems, tight and smooth skin, clear black stripes, or brown spots on the body of the watermelon.
- You should choose watermelons with a yellow or cream-colored spot on the bottom. Additionally, pay attention to whether the bottom is indented; the more indented it is, the sweeter the watermelon will be.
- If it feels heavier than it looks, and you hear a “thud” sound when tapping, then it is definitely a juicy watermelon.
- Avoid buying watermelons that are soft and mushy, with fresh green stems, or those that feel lighter than their appearance.
