Questions, answered.
Is this juice sweet or savory?
It sits between the two: watermelon supplies sweetness while tomato, celery, basil and salt make it savory and refreshing.
Can I make it ahead?
Make it up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerate it in a sealed jar. Stir well because the ingredients naturally separate.
