1
Freezing is not recommended for this recipe.

Peel and chop the avocado and place it in a mixing bowl.

Sprinkle it with the lemon juice to prevent it from discolouring.

Cook's notes: when melons are ripe they should 'give' slightly when pressed at the stalk end.
10
Wrap up melons well if storing them in the refrigerator as otherwise they will permeate everything around them with their heady scent.
