Tomato Melon Chicken Salad Recipes

Steps:

• To make the dressing, put the vinegar, oils, half the mint, the mustard, sugar and cordial in a blender, then season and blitz to combine. Add the cream and check the seasoning - this is a sweet-sour dressing, so you need to get the balance right. You might want to make it a bit milder by adding a little more cream.
• Halve the smaller tomatoes and cut any larger ones into wedges. Put in a shallow serving bowl.
• Remove the seeds from the Charentais or cantaloupe and Galia melons, cut into wedges, peel and cut the flesh into chunks. Add to the bowl with the tomatoes, along with the watermelon. Drizzle over some of the dressing (you may not need all of it), scatter over the remaining mint leaves and serve.

Steps:

• Gently combine the melon, cucumber, tomatoes and herbs in a large bowl. Mix the olive oil and mint sauce with some seasoning, then pour over the other ingredients and stir again to coat in the mint dressing. Serve chilled, with slices of toasted baguette, rubbed with a fresh cut garlic clove if you like.

Steps:

• Put the chicken into a shallow dish. Grate the zest from the lemon over the chicken. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze over the juice. Add 3 tablespoons of the oil along with the thyme, and garlic. Mix everything together so the chicken is well coated with all the flavorings. Cover and let sit for 30 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
• While the chicken is marinating, prepare the tomato salad: Cut the tomatoes into 1/2-inch pieces and put them into a bowl. Add the vinegar, and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper, tear in the basil leaves, and gently mix to combine.
• When you are ready to cook, remove the chicken from the marinade, scrape off the herbs, and season with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and put a thin coating of olive oil into it. Cook the chicken, working in batches if necessary, until it is golden brown and cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes.
• To serve, place 2 pieces of chicken onto a plate, and spoon 1/4 of the tomato salad over the chicken. Spoon on some of the tomato juices as well. Repeat with the remaining chicken and tomatoes and serve.

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels; crumble.
• Stir chicken, bacon, tomato, and celery together in a bowl.
• Whisk mayonnaise, parsley, green onions, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl until dressing is smooth. Pour dressing over chicken mixture; toss to coat. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.
• Stir chicken mixture and serve over romaine lettuce leaves; garnish with avocado slices.

Steps:

• Gently mix watermelon, tomatoes, mint, onion, and feta cheese in a large bowl.
• Whisk olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper together in small bowl; drizzle over salad and gently toss to coat.

Steps:

• Cut a thin slice off the top of each tomato. Scoop out pulp, leaving 1/2-in. shells. Invert onto paper towels to drain. In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Spoon into tomatoes.

Steps:

• Put the tomatoes in a large bowl. Remove the outer rind of the watermelon, cut the flesh into medium-sized cubes and add to the tomatoes.
• Roughly chop the mint leaves, discarding the stalks but leaving a little for the garnish, and add the rest to the bowl. Crumble over the feta, toss everything together lightly and garnish with the reserved mint.
