Watermelon and Feta Salad
This salad is perfect on a warm day, as a side to grilled protein, or as a light and functional dish during detox or preconception care.
Watermelon is ultra-hydrating, packed with vitamin C and lycopene, which supports skin health and helps combat oxidative stress.
Feta cheese provides a good dose of calcium and protein, and its saltiness pairs beautifully with the sweetness of the melon — helping to support electrolyte balance.
Mint supports digestion and offers antimicrobial properties, while red onion adds quercetin, a powerful antioxidant.
Lime juice helps alkalise the body and provides a vitamin C boost, and olive oil supports healthy fat intake and nutrient absorption.
