watermelon salad

Busy summer.  And my Dad ended up in the hospital again.  I have to admit writing is not a priority.  I find I would rather stitch or crochet then write if there is quiet. 

I volunteer with Koda Bear at a farm a couple time a month.  More in the winter then the summer.  It is hot in the Texas.  One of their early summer lunches had a watermelon salad served.  One of those that made me go hmmm.....

So I made it.  It has been a go to recipe for the hot months this year.  If I do not write it down, I will forget what is in it.  Here we go.

watermelon salad

1 small watermelon, peeled and chopped into bite size pieces.

2 avocados, skinned, pit removed, and diced

2 cups white beans

1 or 2 cucumbers, peeled and diced

salt and pepper to taste

1 to 2 teaspoons oregano

Balsamic vinaigrette or olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

In a large bowl, put the watermelon, cucumber, avocado, and beans.  Mix together.  Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and oregano to taste.  Splash with olive oil and balsamic vinegar or a balsamic vinaigrette.  Stir.  Serve.

If it is really hot out, refrigerate before serving and it gets even better!  My body seems to crave this salad when it is very hot, more so then greens.  Watermelon has been a hit this summer.
