4 cups cubed watermelon, honeydew,
cantaloupe or any melon variety
2 avocados
Juice from 1 lime
¼ tsp sea salt
1 pinch fresh cracked pepper
1 pinch Aleppo chili flakes
1 handful fresh cilantro, trimmed and washed

Directions:

• If using a melon, cut it in half and scoop out the innards with a large spoon.
• Cut the halves into 1-inch wide strips, remove the rind and cut into 1-inch cubes.
• Cut your avocados in half and remove the pit by hitting it with a sharp knife and then twisting it out.
• Gently remove the peel and cut into 1-inch cubes.
• To assemble, mix melon and avocado cubes together with remaining ingredients in a large serving bowl.
• Another serving option is to arrange the cubes in a random checkerboard pattern on a large rectangular platter. Drizzle with lime juice and sprinkle with remaining ingredients.
