Spanish compose salad

By Scott Parker
8 to 10
Easy
15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 6 Woolworths Roma tomatoes
  • 350 g Woolworths exotic tomato mix
  • 4 T extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 T sherry vinegar
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 350 g Woolworths prepared watermelon
  • 350 g Woolworths prepared sweet orange melon
  • 350 g Woolworths prepared green melon
  • 70 g Woolworths Serrano ham, shredded

Method

1. Grate the Roma tomatoes into a sieve over a bowl to collect the tomato water. Reserve the tomato water.

2. Gently stir the tomato pulp in the sieve to remove any excess tomato water.

3. Transfer the grated tomato to a small bowl and add the reserved tomato water, 2 T olive oil, the sherry vinegar, salt and pepper. Set aside.

4. Slice the exotic tomatoes into wedges and the melon into small pieces the same size.

5. Place in a large bowl and toss well with the remaining olive oil and season to taste.

6.To serve, spoon the grated tomato mixture onto a plate, lay the tomato and melon mixture on top, then top with the ham.

Cook’s note: For an Italian twist, replace the Serrano ham with Parma ham, add Woolworths’ burrata and freshly picked basil.
