This Watermelon Feta Salad is a fresh, flavourful way to enjoy what’s in season.

Watermelon is over 90% water, making it a great source of hydration. It’s also rich in antioxidants like lycopene and vitamin C, which can support skin health and protect against oxidative stress. The mint and lime bring digestive support, while the cucumber adds a little extra fiber. Feta rounds it out with healthy fat and protein to help support blood sugar and hormone balance.

This salad works well as a side dish, but it’s easy to turn into a light meal by adding grilled chicken, lentils, or quinoa. No cooking required—just toss and serve.

Try it out this weekend!
