Watermelon, Corn, And Tomato Salad
- 2 ears yellow corn
- 1/2 small seedless watermelon (2 1/2 lbs.)
- 3 ounces ricotta salata or block-style feta cheese
- 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes (any color)
- 2 or 3 medium heirloom tomatoes (1 1/3 lbs. total), halved lengthwise and sliced crosswise
- 2 cups baby spinach leaves
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves
- Cracked pepper and kosher salt
- Cook corn in a pot of boiling water until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl of ice water and let cool. Pat corn dry, then cut kernels lengthwise from cobs into long sections. Break into large pieces.
- Cut rind from watermelon and cut melon in half lengthwise. Slice crosswise about 1/4 in. thick. Slice ricotta salata about 1/8 in. thick and set aside.
- In a large, wide bowl, gently combine corn, watermelon, tomatoes, and spinach. Toss very gently with dressing. Ease salad onto a platter and tuck in cheese. Scatter oregano leaves over salad and sprinkle with pepper and salt.
- Make ahead: Salad, through step 2, up to 2 hours; dressing, up to 2 days, chilled.
