Why I Stuck Watermelon and Avocado Together on a Hot Day

More Than Just Two Fruits

I never thought about mixing these two until I accidentally cut into a perfectly ripe watermelon and a creamy avocado at the same time. The smell of watermelon juice blending with that faint, nutty aroma of avocados. Funny how they sort of scream summer but in totally different ways. Watermelon’s crisp, almost wet crunch, meets the buttery smoothness of avocado.

It’s not about fancy dressings or tricky techniques. It’s about feeling lazy but still wanting something bright, real. Sometimes I get tired of apricot, feta, or whatever fancy salad thing everyone’s doing. This feels like screwing around in the kitchen but ending up with something fresh, a bit unexpected. Plus, I’ve realized that combining these gives you a surprisingly complex bite, sweet and earthy all in one sheet of a spoon. No rules, just some weird urge to see if fruit can be best friends.
