Let this salad be an answer to the perennial summer question of “How the heck do I use up the ginormous watermelon I bought?” In this rendition of Caprese salad—normally made with tomatoes—watermelon’s floral flavour pairs beautifully with mild-mannered mozzarella. Torn fresh basil and a drizzle of sweet-tart balsamic glaze wakes everything up.
