I'm excited to welcome back Jennifer of Predominately Paleo. Her recipes are easy to make, yet inventive, family friendly and most importantly DELICIOUS!
Today she shares her recipe for Cilantro Watermelon Salad, a refreshing salad for all occasions.
I have always claimed that sweet and savory did not belong together. I would pick fruit out of salads and turn my nose up at sophisticated pairings. Then something happened – I started eating real food. And slowly after gaining more of an appreciation for organic, pure, chemical free foods, these pairings started to become more desirable.
Well what do ya know?! I am now creating my own dishes incorporating both sweet and savory. This cilantro watermelon salad marries cilantro, watermelon, avocado, and red onion – it is both light and flavorful and perfect for taking outdoors during the warmer months. Despite it being a less likely combination, my children enjoyed it, even the 3 year old!
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 cups balled or cut watermelon
- 1 avocado pitted and sliced/chopped
- 1 handful fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup red onion
- Freshly squeezed lime juice to taste
- Optional: a sprinkle maple or coconut palm sugar
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Combine all ingredients (besides lime juice) and toss lightly, being careful to avoid mashing avocado too much
- Squeeze lime juice once finished and serve!
Jennifer is a mother of 3 and wife in pursuit of better health for her family. After being gluten free for about 4 years, and having a multitude of chronic health issues, she realized there was still a lot of junk in her pantry and change was needed. Jennifer began feeding her family more meals from WHOLE foods and less from boxes. Her recipes are predominantly paleo, meaning they are free of grain, gluten, dairy, and refined sugar, but makes allowances for a few treat and sweets. She believes food can be medicine when used appropriately and that a few changes now can equate to huge benefits later. Healthy food does not need to be flavorless and void of personality, proven by all of her amazing dishes.
