Cherry tomato, watermelon and black olive salad

This salad appeared on the menu at Berta one summer and quickly became a firm favourite spawning many variations – I’m sure its popularity was in part due to the watermelon being prepared with a melon baller. There’s something about watermelon balls that, I’m convinced, makes the melon taste more delicious, and coupled with the sweet and slightly tart tomatoes, balsamic vinegar and olives, you get a delicious sweet, salty, acidic and juicy combination that is so very refreshing for summer.
