Notes

This dish is best served fresh. You can store any leftover avocado-wasabi cream in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one day. The watermelon should be kept separate to maintain its texture and flavor. For extra flavor, consider adding soy sauce or lime zest to the avocado-wasabi cream.
