Tips
- Chef’s Tip -Chill the watermelon and cucumbers before combining them. This keeps the salad refreshing and crisp, perfect for hot days or as a light side dish. Additionally, when adding the avocado, gently fold it in last to avoid mashing it, preserving its creamy texture.For extra flavor, you can also lightly toast the serrano peppers in a dry skillet before slicinging, which will mellow their heat and add a subtle smoky flavor to the salad.
