Step 1

Make the dressing: In a small bowl, combine the tamari, lime juice, vinegar, garlic, and ginger.

Step 2

Arrange the tomatoes, watermelon, and jalapeños on a platter or in a shallow bowl. (This salad should not be served in a deep bowl because the flavorful juices will sink to the bottom.) Drizzle with the dressing and top with the basil, cashews, and avocado. Season to taste and serve with lime wedges.

Chef’s notes

If you're sensitive to spice, start with less jalapeño and add more to your taste.

Hot days call for hot food, enhancing the spicy notes with cool watermelon and creamy avocado helps balance the flavors.
