1. Vegetable Preparation
Start by washing the tomatoes. Remove the skin, slice them in half to discard the seeds, then chop them into cubes. Peel the watermelon and cut it into similar-sized cubes. Remove the rind from the Comté cheese and also cube it. Set aside 5 to 6 whole anchovy fillets for garnish and chop the rest, keeping the marinade.
2. Combining the Ingredients
In a large salad bowl, combine the tomatoes, watermelon, and cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Add a drizzle of olive oil and the reserved anchovy marinade, then mix everything together thoroughly. Arrange the whole anchovy fillets on top of the salad. Scatter the basil leaves over the salad and finish with a drizzle of balsamic cream. Chill the salad in the refrigerator before serving to let the flavors meld together beautifully.
