I just had this for lunch - yum. For those who like weird food combos:bigsmile: - sweet, salty, chewy, crunchy. what was nice is that because of the fresh spinach, it took a long time to chew, which means i ate slower, which is good. I am bringing the original recipe which is from http://topoftheapple.com/2012/07/14/watermelon-avocado-salad-with-feta/ . I used a little bit different dressing - olive oil and lemon juice. I already posted it in the recipe data base if you want to log it for your meals
