Avocado Watermelon Salad Recipe

Avocado is something that is not only delicious, but is an incredibly healthy food to incorporate into your diet. It is versatile, allowing you to mix it with various of flavors to have it take on a completely different flavor.

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.
