Watermelon Avocado Salad with Basil and Mint

I've already posted a recipe similar to this, but this time I added basil and mint. And woah...the unexpected flavor combination goes perfectly together. I also used a different salad dressing, but you can just use balsamic vinaigrette if that's easier for you.

Recipe
  • 1 seedless watermelon, chopped
  • 3-4 ripe but firm avocados
  • 1 bunch mint, stemmed and chopped
  • 1 bunch basil, stemmed and chopped
  • 1-2 cups spinach (optional)
  • 1 package shaved or crumbled feta
  • 3 T red wine vinegar
  • 2 T balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
Mix the first six ingredients in a large bowl.  Combine the dressing ingredients separately and then pour over the salad and toss to distribute evenly.
