Description
A refreshing and vibrant salad made with juicy watermelon and creamy avocado, perfect for summer gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups watermelon cubes seedless, ripe
- 1 large ripe avocado peeled, pitted
- 1 tablespoon lime juice freshly squeezed
- 1 pinch sea salt to taste
Instructions
- Use a sharp knife to carefully cut the ripe watermelon into uniform 1-inch cubes on a clean cutting board. Arrange the cubes on a serving plate or place in a mixing bowl.
- Cut the avocado in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and peel the flesh. Slice the avocado into thin, even chunks or scoop with a spoon for a rustic texture. Add the avocado pieces to the watermelon on the plate or bowl.
- Drizzle the lime juice evenly over the watermelon and avocado; this enhances flavor and prevents browning of the avocado. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the mixture.
- Gently toss the watermelon and avocado with a spoon or fork to combine, ensuring the lime juice and salt are evenly distributed. Be careful not to mash the avocado; aim for gentle mixing.
- Transfer the mixture onto a clean serving plate or keep in the bowl ready to serve. The final dish should showcase juicy watermelon chunks with smooth avocado accents, visually vibrant and appealing.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider adding mint leaves or feta cheese.
- Best served fresh; consume within a few hours of preparation to enjoy optimal texture.
