AVOCADO WATERMELON SALAD WITH LEMON PEPPER DRESSING

Crunchy, fresh, sweet, savory, tasty, healthy.  If there is anything I love its having fresh salad. Nothing beats vibrant colours staring at you just waiting for you to munch down. I gave you a dessert in the last recipe so I thought I would go all healthy on you, but still keeping it 100% delicious for #AvocadoAugust! Salads come in different forms and you can choose to have yours with as little or as much ingredients as your heart desires. To get the best out of salads, you can use flavoured vinegar. Put herb sprigs like tarragon, basil, Rosemary and thyme into white wine vinegar and leave for 1 month before use. Nuts add texture interest as well as flavour to salads. They also provide protein. You can try hazlenuts, pecan, peanuts, almonds and even pistaschio in salads to give it crunch. Avocado gives this salad that rich creaminess and smooth texture while the lemon pepper dressing brings it to full circle. Simple ingredients yet big flavours is what you get from this delicious salad. What are some of your favourite salad toppings?
