  1. In a large serving bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Season with freshly ground pepper and a little coarse salt. Toss, and serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 hours.
Recipe Notes

Do Ahead or Delegate: Chop the watermelon, cucumber and tomato, halve the mozzarella balls and refrigerate, or fully prepare and refrigerate the salad.

Scramble Flavor Booster: Add 1/2 – 1 chopped jalapeno or 1 – 2 Tbsp. marinated hot peppers such as giardiniera, or 1/2 cup diced sweet onion.

Tip: When you purchase marinated mozzarella, the marinade usually consists of olive oil combined with salt, pepper and other seasonings like garlic, basil and oregano. Don’t waste the marinade! It’s delicious on cheese, drizzled on roasted vegetables, or as a dip for bread as we’ve suggested above.
