Cubed Salad

Cubed Salad

Summer time seems to be the perfect time to crave a salad. I've been seeing lots of cubed salads as well as using watermelon for something other than dessert. I decided to try my hand at a cubed salad with watermelon.

Drawing inspiration from what I've been seeing and what looked good at the supermarket, I went with a 4 ingredient [baby watermelon, tomato, avocado, and queso fresco] salad plus some green onions for a bit of flavor.

Through trial and error I discovered that this salad needed neither dressing nor added salt. The juices from tomatoes and watermelon were enough to keep it moist and the queso fresco provided all the saltiness that I required. Acidity of the tomatoes went great with the sweetness of the watermelon and the saltiness of the queso fresco. The avocado provided a rich creamy texture while the watermelon added a much needed crunch factor.

The salad turned out a bit unusual for my taste buds, but in no way did it taste bad. I should have expected as much from using one of my favorite summer time desserts in a salad.
