Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 to 8 oz mozzarella cheese, cut into 12 small slices, liquid reserved
4 tbsp pickle juice (from the jar)
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves , tightly packed, stemmed, washed, dried and chopped
2 oz coarse sea salt
2 ripe beefsteak (or any large variety heirloom) tomatoes, washed, dried and stemmed
1 pint cherry ( sweet 100's or heirloom) tomatoes, washed, dried and stemmed
granulated sugar
coarsely ground black pepper
the juice from 1/2 to 1 lemon , depending on personal taste
6 oz cold watermelon, rind removed, seeded, cut into bite-size cubes and refrigerated until just before serving

Directions:

For the dressing: In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, mozzarella liquid and pickle juice. Whisk in the vinegar. Taste for seasoning. Set aside.
For the herb salt: Put the parsley and the salt in the bowl of the food processor and pulse to blend until they are integrated and the salt is green. Keep in a sealed jar.
To assemble the salad: Slice and arrange the tomatoes in a single layer on a flat surface. Drizzle the tomatoes with a little sugar, black pepper and the dressing. Top with a sprinkle of the parsley salt. Taste a tomato slice for seasoning. Squeeze the lemon juice on the watermelon. Season the mozzarella slices with parsley salt and a little dressing, as well. Arrange the tomatoes, mozzarella and watermelon cubes on 6 rectangular plates. Serve immediately.
