This recipe is a little...different. Different in the sense that it combines a few flavors that shouldn't go together, but oddly work in perfect unison. It utilizes the recipe for my chili lime vinaigrette to make a spiced (up your life) version of a classic summer salad. I added avocado to tie the two worlds together, and that's how they became the Brady bunch.

Add full recipe of chili lime vinaigrette and toss to combine. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve. Refrigerate covered for up to a day.

Hint: It is best to add avocado when ready to serve to avoid browning. Leftovers may not have the best quality if avocado is included.

Pro Tips

  • Use a larger bowl than you think you'll need. It makes it easier to toss without spilling.
  • If storing in the fridge, omit the avocado until ready to serve for best texture and quality.
  • Add a bit of an extra kick with a dash of cayenne pepper.

FAQs

Can this be made ahead of time?

It can be, but I would leave out the avocado until ready to serve to prevent browning. I would make it a few hours ahead of time, but not overnight.

How long is this watermelon feta salad recipe good for?

If prepared as-is, it is best to enjoy the day of. If omitting the avocado, it can be refrigerated for up to a day for best qualityl
