You know that moment when you take a bite of something new — a combo you never would’ve dreamed up yourself — and it just works? That was the exact feeling the first time I tried this unexpected yet totally refreshing flavor mash-up:
Watermelon, Feta, and Avocado Salad.
Yes, you read that right. Sweet, juicy watermelon. Creamy avocado. Salty crumbles of feta cheese. Tossed together with a drizzle of lime juice, a touch of olive oil, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
It sounds unusual, but trust me — it's magic.
