Nutritious Salad

The Avocado Watermelon Salad is:

  • light,
  • refreshing,
  • incredibly healthy

Crisp and flavorful tomato, cucumber, avocado and watermelon tossed in a balsamic vinegar dressing is a treat. Although this would be ideal in the summer when watermelon and tomatoes are in prime season, you can find smaller seedless watermelon year round along with a variety of tomatoes. This salad has a nice contrast of flavors and textures giving the creamy, richness of an avocado mixed with a crispy, airy flavor of the watermelon and cucumber.

Pairing Fruits with Veggies

The creaminess of the avocado is easily paired with a juicy tomato but not as often with a sweet watermelon. Combine them to make an incredible Avocado Watermelon Salad. Best of all, for those of you following Whole30, be pleased to know that this is compliant – as long as you are using compliant balsamic vinegar.
