U.S.-grown watermelon is in season through September, and chef Evans makes the most of the juicy fruit by combining the red and yellow varieties in one summery salad. At Pura Vida in Cleveland, he tosses the watermelon pieces with two other peak summer ingredients—ripe tomatoes and cucumbers—and contrasts the fresh produce with creamy burrata cheese.
