Cucumber Watermelon Summer Salad

I don't usually get too excited about salad, but this recipe has now become my new fav. It is light and refreshing with a Tequila-spiked dressing. The combination of flavour from cucumbers, watermelon, peppers and avocado tantalize your tastebuds to the max! Pair that with a dressing made with Avocado oil and Tequila, and you have a salad that will be on everyone's "Please Make" list.
