Pure deliciousness.
While it might not seem like the most natural flavor combination, I assure you it’s delicious! And stop scrunching your noes — I’m sure the person who invented the PB and banana combo got similar responses. But I didn’t “INVENT” this combination. per se. I did, however, create the PERFECT recipe. You’ve got to try it. Why? Because it will make you fall in love with me, and love is always a very good thing 
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 avocados (pitted and peeled and cut into small chunks – about 1/2 inch)
- 1-2 lbs. watermelon (seeded and cut into small/med chunks – about 1 inch)
- 2 limes, juiced
- 1/2 red onion (peeled and sliced thin)
- 1 Tbs extra-virgin olive oil – do not leave this out!
- 1/2 bunch cilantro (chopped) - make sure you use fresh herbs, it makes ALL the difference
- kosher salt and pepper, to taste
Basically, throw everything into a bowl and toss lightly. Be gentle! It will still taste delish if you mix it too hard, but it won’t look nearly as pretty.
Doesn’t that look lovely?
If you want a bit more substance, lay scoops of this on top of a bed of spinach and sprinkle some feta cheese on top!
Your turn! What is your favorite summer salad?
Watermelon and avocado?! You’ve got me all curious now! I’ll have to give it a try!
The flavours of this salad have me intrigued!!!!
This looks fantastic! I have never had avocado with watermellon. But I have hat feta and basil wil watermellon – that is AMAZING. So I’m totally going to hav eto give it a try with some avocado added. Yum!
Wow, it does look amazing.
My favorite summer salad is massaged kale with strawberries (with a honey and apple cider vinegar dressing). So simple, so tasty!
I am tempted to try this. I have friend who eats salted watermelon. She let me try it. It’s not bad. I also saw a recipe that combines watermelon, basil, salt and feta!
Interesting salad. I’ll admit..I had my nose scrunched until you said stop.
I love fresh baby greens, heirloom tomatoes, basil and oil. Mozza too.
Wow, brilliant combination! I may have to copy this for my birthday bbq this weekend
I went way before starting my blog but that reminds me that I should definitely go back and write recaps of past vacations.
Thanks for stopping by my blog, it’s so exciting to know people read it! I went to Puerto Rico a few years ago, you’ll love it! It’s gorgeous, ideal weather, beautiful beaches and good food
[...] Eat This! I love this yummy, healthy, and refreshing Avocado Salad recipe found on The Daily Balance. It really is so delish! [...]
I love both fruits, so decided to try this recipe. So delicious, but I used less only 1 lime and it was plenty!
