Author Notes

This is a very flavorful summer salad that hits all the right notes: sweetness of the watermelon, saltiness and brininess of the olive, plus the smokiness of the grilled onions, making for a delicious and satisfying salad. You can call this one super umami. —Chef Reza Setayesh | Plant Loving Humans
