Red, juicy, and sweet, tomatoes and watermelon are soul mates, and they both need salt, spice, and fat to reach their full potential. Make sure your tomatoes and watermelon are room temperature: If they’re too cold, they’ll make the spiced coconut oil seize.

Yield

4–6 servings

Ingredients

1. • 1/4 cup virgin coconut oil
   • 1 tsp. coarsely crushed peppercorns
   • 1 tsp. coarsely crushed coriander seeds
   • 1/2 tsp. cumin seeds
   • 1/2 tsp. ground turmeric
   • 1/4 large seedless watermelon (about 3 lb.), preferably yellow, rind removed, flesh cut into 1/2" pieces (about 4 cups)
   • 2 medium or 1 large heirloom tomato, cut into 1/2" pieces
   • 8 oz. mild French feta, cut into 1/2" pieces
   • Flaky sea salt

Preparation

1. 1. Heat coconut oil, peppercorns, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and turmeric in a small saucepan over medium until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Let turmeric oil cool slightly.
   2. Arrange watermelon, tomato, and feta on a platter. Drizzle turmeric oil evenly over and sprinkle with salt.
