Notes
🥕For a Mediterranean-style watermelon cucumber salad, use basil and/or mint leaves and sprinkle the top of the salad with crumbled vegan feta cheese.
🥕For a Southwestern-inspired watermelon cucumber salad, I suggest using cilantro instead of basil and mint. Add a sprinkle of finely diced fresh jalapeño, red pepper flakes or Tajin lime pepper seasoning.
🥕This salad is best served right away. You'll want to add the avocado right before serving, while the avocado is vibrantly green. 🌱 Enjoy!
