This simple fruit “crudo” is an exercise in letting high-quality produce shine. The ripe honeydew melon and creamy avocado get complexity from a splash of bright vinegar, fresh ginger, and (surprise) a couple of anchovy fillets that subtly up the umami factor. Pair it with the rest of DeVonn’s dream Pride brunch menu: Breakfast Smash Burgers, Coconut and Turmeric Fried Rice, and Guava and Goat Cheese Phyllo Pie.
