Avocado and Melon Salad
Ensalada de Aguacate y MelónHere's a typical salad combination that's found all over Mexico. Mound this fresh chunky salad on an oval platter or in a shallow bowl to show off the colors and textures. The salad goes with almost everything, but I especially like it with grilled chicken breasts or grilled shrimp.
