I got artsy this weekend. ((can’t you tell?!))
I spent most of my weekend working on my second case study presentation for my internship, but I figured a little creativity on a work break may pump up my brain juices, so I channeled my inner food photographer. Did it work?!

Some summer combos are classic… peaches n’ cream, strawberry rhubarb anything, (veggie) burgers and hot dogs at every BBQ, ice cream with rainbow sprinkles…you get the idea…
Since it’s my half birthday today (happy half birthday to meeee!), it’s only natural I share a recipe with one of my favorite food combos…watermelon & tomatoes (it’s not weird, I promise!). When I’m not too busy carving watermelons into cakes, I’m pairing them with tomatoes and usually some feta cheese…because what’s better?!
This time, I swapped out the dairy for equal amounts of creaminess with avocado. Plus a drizzle of balsamic glaze…what could be better?? (Answer: NOTHING!) I’m bringing your salad to new heights (see what I did there?!) with this beyond basic “recipe.” It’s almost embarrassingly simple.

So much more fun than everything chopped in a bowl!
I have never thought to combine watermelon and avocado, but it sounds like the perfect pair. I’d love to try this!
