Watermelon Salad

So, it has kind of been a watermelon week around here.  It all started when I went to buy one at the local fruit stand, and found out I could buy one for $5, but two for $8.  So, having two watermelons on hand meant I had to come up with some things to do with them.  The grocery store also had avocados on sale, so I decided to combine the two in this watermelon salad.

I recently had a cucumber and avocado salad that a friend made, and included some of the ingredients I thought were in that salad since for some reason cucumbers and watermelon always seem to remind me of one another.   At any rate, this turned out really well.  I am adding salt and pepper to taste to the recipe, but I will point out that I think it tastes better with a pretty generous amount of salt, but that may be just me.

Yield 4

Ingredients

• 6 cups watermelon, chopped into bite sized pieces
• 3 avocados, diced
• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
• 1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
• 4 oz. feta cheese, crumbled
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Place the watermelon in a large bowl.
2. Place the lime juice in a smaller bowl and cut the avocado directly into it, tossing occasionally to coat, so that the avocado doesn’t turn brown.
3. Add the pour the avocado and juice over the watermelon.
4. Add the mint, feta, and salt and pepper.
5. Toss together gently until well combined. Really do be gentle here, so that you don’t make sauce out of the avocado and cheese. You want them to remain chunky.
6. Serve immediately.
