I don’t usually get too excited about salad, but this recipe for Cucumber Watermelon Summer Salad is awesome! It is so light and refreshing with a Tequila spiked dressing. Of course you can eliminate the tequila for an alcohol free version. The combination of flavours from cucumbers, watermelon, cilantro, peppers and avocado tantalize your tastebuds to the max! The homemade dressing of Avocado oil, citrus juices and Tequila take this salad to a whole new level of delicious!
