What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? The Daily Special: Avocado on My Mind! Watermelon and avocado, when mixed together, have a uniquely gratifying flavor. Surprised? It’s as refreshing as a walk in the park. Not only is this salad appealing to the eye, it’s easy on the wallet. These two fruits are affordable, low in calories, and can be eaten often since they are packed with nutrients. Permission granted.
AVOCADO ON MY MIND
Ingredients:
1 ripe avocado
1 wedge watermelon, seedless
1/2 lime, sliced
1 tablespoon feta cheese, crumbled
1 sprig cilantro
Instructions:
Open the avocado, discarding seed. Remove pulp. Squeeze lime juice over both halves to prevent discoloration. Chop avocado into pieces and place into a medium-sized bowl. Using a melon-ball utensil, scoop the watermelon into round pieces. Discard rind. Add watermelon balls to bowl, tossing gently. Sprinkle feta cheese over top. Snip cilantro to taste. Garnish with lime slices.
Thank you, Gail, for the wonderful salad, absolutely perfect for me!

It is especially easy nowadays since watermelon is sold in precut chunks. Finishing an entire watermelon can be challenging. ππππ₯

I basically make Gazpacho https://viewfromtheback.com/2017/06/16/the-musette-gazpacho/ and add watermelon juice from liquidised watermelon. You need to add it in small amounts and then taste. I generally work on the basis of 3 parts Gazpacho to 1 part juice.
