TOMATO, WATERMELON AND AVOCADO SALAD

This delicious cool summer salad has become a standard at our Friday night lobster bake.

2 cups vine ripe tomato wedges
2 cups 1 inch diced seedless watermelon
1 cup finely sliced red onions
1 or 2 tbs. minced garlic

Prepare an hour before serving.? Gently coat avocado slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.

3-4 firm but ripe avocados cut long way in 4 slices and halved.
2 oz lemon juice

3-4 tbs. chopped fresh herbs (basil, parsley, chives)
3 oz. white balsamic dressing
3 oz. cilantro vinaigrette

Add avocado, dressing and herbs to tomatoes etc.? Gently mix but only to distribute.? Transfer to salad bowl and garnish as you would like.
To make it even simpler, use one or more of your favorite pre-made dressings.

Enjoy.
