Vibrant Summer Salad

This salad screams summer and it couldn't be more perfect for a BBQ gathering to enjoy with a boozy spritz in the heat. It's the perfect combination of fresh, sweet, and light. You get a tartiness from the strawberries, a crisp texture from the watermelon, crunch from the cucumbers, creaminess from the avocado, and a fresh flavor from the mint. Just add some fresh lime juice and sprinkle some sea salt to let the flavors speak for themselves!

RECIPE

1 cup watermelon, chopped into cubes

1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced into cubes

2 small english cucumbers, chopped into cubes

1 ripe (but not too ripe!) avocado diced

10 mint leaves finely chopped

Juice from 1 lime

Pinch of sea salt

1. Finely chop or dice the watermelon, strawberries, cucumbers, and avocado.

2. Add all ingredients into a bowl and add the fresh lime juice and sprinkle the sea salt.

3. BONUS – add the chili lime salt seasoning from Trader Joes to bring this to a whole new level.

4. Mix all ingredients together and serve by itself or over chilled, cooked quinoa for a heartier salad.

Enjoy this salad with friends and family on a nice summer day!
