Avocado Watermelon Spinach Salad

I thought this salad was O.K. but my husband did not like it. You have to REALLY like advocado and watermelon to make this work. The balsamic gives the watermelon an usual taste.

this recipe rocks, if I do say so myself (again:)

This salad was delicious -- wonderfully refreshing and an unexpected combination. A definite keeper. It was delightful to eat it tonight with a simple grilled steak. Here's how I made it quick and easy: I bought de-seeded and cut watermelon pieces from our supermarket and also fresh spinach that the market had washed and trimmed for consumption. Proportions of these are not critical: I estimated the proportions of the ingredients to reduce the recipe to serve the two of us well. For the avocado, I used half of a perfectly ripe Hass avocado. Here's how I glorified it: Instead of using bottled dressing, I made a balsamic dressing of olive oil and balsamic vinegar for this salad, again by estimating proportions. I added some honey and salt and pepper to taste and...some fennel seed -- all of this this whirred in the food processor for a couple of minutes until completely smooth and emulsified.

An interesting combination I never would have thought of, but it's quite good! I used a sweeter dressing - a raspberry vinagerette.

This was pretty good, and I'll make it again. I'm not sure about the balsamic vinaigrette, though... next time I'll try a rasberry vinaigrette as another reviewer did.

My 14 year old daughter made this for a school project on healthy eating. No one in my family thought we would like it. We all loved it! It was very crisp and refreshing. Great on a hot day. Would cut down on the dressing a little bit. Thanks for a great new experience.

My dinner party loved this salad. Like everyone else, I made a raspberry vinagarette and it was wonderful. I used less than half of the dressing, which was more than enough.

the bomb diggity! gobbled it up! making it for dinner tonight along with some shish kabobs!

Delicious! Absolutely delicious. I was weirded out by the combination and thought it was either going to be brilliant or disgusting - I was so pleased to have it turn out brilliant. I want to try gorgonzola or bleu cheese crumbled over the top. I think it needs the bite of a stinkier cheese than feta. It's fantastic for summer and makes an excellent companion to grilled steak.

This gets five from me for sheer brilliance. We made this because everything in it is a favorite food item, though we'd never have thought to throw them all together. Once we did, we weren't sure how good it would be, but we were very, very pleased and can't wait to make it again. Though, next time, I'm determined to crumble some feta cheese over it as well.
