Avocado Melon Salad

This salad is full of power foods that are so so good!  Avocado with healthy fats, great for your heart and succulent honeydew melon that provides a wallop of vitamin C! Great summer salad with a grilled chicken breast or add some grilled shrimp. Try this with baby greens, arugula and fennel, you can't go wrong!

2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
1/4 C fresh basil chopped

1 Clove of garlic minced
2 Tbs honey
Kosher Salt
Pepper

Toss 4 C of lettuce with dressing.  Top off with:
1 Avocado diced
1 C Honeydew melon cubed

Done!
