Easy Watermelon Sorbet, Fresh Tomato Salad

On Tuesday's edition of the Cooking Corner, Natalie Mikles with Made in Oklahoma has a couple of easy recipes made with Oklahoma products.

Easy Watermelon Sorbet

Serves: 4

This simple sorbet comes together in just about 5 minutes, though you’ll want to allow time for the watermelon to fully freeze before you begin. It’s a quick and healthy dessert that’s perfect for summertime.

Ingredients:

1. 2 cups cubed Triple S Farms watermelon
2. 2 tablespoons Roark Acres Honey
3. ½ lime, juiced

Directions:

1. Place cubed watermelon pieces in the freezer for at least 6 hours. The watermelon should be completely frozen. The easiest way to do this is to place the cubes on a lined baking sheet, so that each piece can fully freeze.

2. Place watermelon in the bowl of a food processor. Add honey and lime juice. Pulse three or four pulses at a time until you achieve the texture of a sorbet. You will want to scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally to make sure all is combined.

Fresh Tomato Salad

Serves: 8-10

A simple tomato salad, with herbs and a little sweetness is just what you want on a hot summer day.

Ingredients:

6-8 ripe tomatoes

¼ cup Scissortail Farms chopped chives

¼ cup Scissortail Farms basil leaves, chopped finely

1 cup Diane’s Legendary Italian Salad Dressing

1 ½ tablespoon Roark Acres Okie Honey

Directions:

1. Dice the tomatoes into large chunks or slices.

2. In a small mixing bowl add the chopped basil, chopped chives, Diane’s dressing and honey, mix thoroughly so the honey is fully incorporated. Add this mixture to the tomatoes and toss.

Note: This salad is best served at room temperature as soon as it is prepared, otherwise refrigerate.
