This is a light, tangy, summery salad. To prepare the lychees, simply crack the leathery shells, and the skin will peel off easily. Black sesame seeds are readily available in Oriental markets.

• 2 dozen fresh Florida lychees, peeled and sliced in half
• 1 bunch frisee, torn

• ¼ cup fresh orange juice
• ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon coarse black pepper
• 2 teaspoons black sesame seeds

Combine watermelon, lychees, and frisee in a large bowl. Whisk together the tarragon, orange juice, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper to make vinaigrette. Toss salad and garnish with black sesame seeds.
