Summer is finally here and so too is watermelon season. I could literally live off watermelon, which is why I add it to almost every meal. Watermelon also tastes great in savoury dishes and is perfect for a salad. I decided on a combination of chickpeas, cucumber and plenty of herbs for this particular recipe. The dressing is made of balsamic and nutty avocado oil, and the toasted almonds provide the desired crunch – simply heavenly!
