2 large avocados - peeled, pitted and diced
4 cups cubed watermelon

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and sweet watermelon: The quality of your watermelon will greatly impact the flavor of your salad. Look for a watermelon that is heavy for its size, has a deep red color, and sounds hollow when you tap on it.
  • Use fresh baby spinach: Baby spinach has a milder flavor than mature spinach, making it a good choice for salads. If you can't find baby spinach, you can use regular spinach, but be sure to chop it finely.
  • Toast the pine nuts: Toasting the pine nuts will bring out their flavor and make them more香脆. You can toast them in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, or in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes.
  • Use a light and tangy dressing: A vinaigrette dressing is a good choice for this salad, as it will not overpower the delicate flavors of the watermelon and spinach. You can make a simple vinaigrette by whisking together olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh, so it's best to serve it immediately after making it. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours, but the watermelon will start to release its juices and the salad will become watery.

Conclusion:

This watermelon spinach salad is a refreshing and colorful salad that is perfect for summer. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you're looking for a light lunch or a healthy side dish, this salad is sure to please.
