How to Make Spicy Melon & Heirloom Tomato Salad with Mozzarella

1. Prepare the Dressing

In a large serving bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, rice vinegar, minced red onion, and Tabasco sauce. Whisk until the mixture emulsifies and thickens slightly.

2. Add Cantaloupe

Slice the cantaloupe in half, remove the seeds with a spoon, and cut away the rind. Slice the flesh into bite-sized pieces and add it to the bowl with the dressing.

3. Add Tomatoes and Mozzarella

Cut the heirloom tomatoes into wedges and tear the buffalo mozzarella cheese into bite-sized chunks. Add both to the bowl and gently toss with the dressing to coat evenly.

4. Finish the Salad

Fold in the pita chips, fresh basil leaves, and snipped dill. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
