WATERMELON, RADISH AND AVOCADO SALAD



Watermelon, Radish and Avocado Salad image

Watermelon works beautifully in summer salads, especially when paired with savory or bitter ingredients to balance its fragrant sweetness. This recipe is no exception. Adding radishes, arugula and diced avocado creates a mixture of contrasting flavors and textures that's colorful, refreshing and fun to eat. The dressing here is nothing more than olive oil and vinegar, but it becomes tangy-sweet when it mingles with the fresh watermelon juice. This salad happens to be vegan, and the avocados provide plenty of richness, but a sprinkle of shaved ricotta salata would be a nice addition, if you are so inclined. Finally, while you can make the dressing and prepare the watermelon, shallots and radishes in advance, wait to assemble and dress the salad until just before serving. Watermelon, as the name suggests, has a high water content and will start to release its juices the second the dressing is added.
