I tested this beautiful salad and it was a hit! From my notes:

This salad recipe should be in every cooks' summer repertoire. A few cups of chopped watermelon from the fridge, some heirloom tomatoes that are ripening on the windowsill, a bit of feta and a handful of almonds united by the snappy mint. Salting the watermelon lets the sweetness shine; just be watchful as the salad sits, it will continue to throw off water. (And a testing note: I used yellow cherry tomatoes, halved, and slivered almonds instead of sliced.)
