Prep 10 min

Watermelon, tomato, cucumber, and basil salad.

Marye's 'From the Kitchen of Marye Holley' card, in her handwriting.

From Marye's own personalized 'From the Kitchen of Marye Holley' card (blue-bordered with a baby-chick illustration). No quantities given for the salad components — it's a sketch of the idea, meant to be made by feel.

Ingredients

Watermelon, cubed
Tomato, cubed
Cucumber, cubed

DRESSING
¼ cup vinegar (Marye used white vinegar)
1 Tbsp sugar
Salt and pepper, to taste
Chopped fresh basil (Marye used dried)

Instructions

1. Cube equal parts watermelon, tomato, and cucumber into a serving bowl.
2. Whisk together the dressing ingredients.
3. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently.
4. Serve immediately, while still cold.

Notes

The card doesn't give quantities for the watermelon, tomato, or cucumber. A 1:1:1 ratio by volume works well; for 4 servings, try about 3 cups of each cubed.
