Ingredients
  

Watermelon Avocado Cucumber Salad
  • 4 cup seedless watermelon cubed
  • 2 ripe avocados diced
  • 1 large English cucumber sliced
  • 0.25 cup red onion thinly sliced
  • 0.25 cup fresh mint leaves chopped
  • 0.25 cup crumbled feta cheese optional
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp sea salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper

Method
 

Combine the salad
  1. Add seedless watermelon cubes, sliced large English cucumber, diced ripe avocados, and thinly sliced red onion to a large serving bowl.
  2. Sprinkle chopped fresh mint leaves over the salad.
Make and add the lime dressing
  1. In a small bowl, whisk fresh lime juice with extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper until the salt dissolves.
  2. Drizzle the lime dressing over the salad and gently toss until evenly coated.
Finish and serve
  1. Top with crumbled feta cheese if desired.
  2. Serve immediately while fresh and chilled.

Notes

For the best texture, serve soon after assembling—avocado will soften as it sits. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 day, but expect the watermelon to release some juice. Freezing is not recommended. For a dairy-free option, skip the feta cheese or use a dairy-free feta-style crumble.
