Watermelon, Avocado, and tomatoes in a salad, I love summer! We live in the center of California with some of the best summer fruit your palate will taste. There are farmers markets in abundance around town, and where there isn’t a farmers market, you will find a fruit stand, it is simply the best!
Some of our families favorite summer fruit include watermelon, grapes, and peaches, all of which I can’t keep enough on hand. I, on the contrary, love avocados. My next recipe inspired by their love of watermelon and my love of avocados.
