Summer is here! This Watermelon Mint Feta Salad celebrates summer and is really refreshing on a hot day. I love the salty-sweet combination of the watermelon and feta with the crisp mint and the slightly bitter baby Swiss chard. I used fresh lemon and a beautiful cold-pressed extra virgin olive and drizzled it generously on top. The olive oil mixed in with the juices of the watermelon and lemon is absolutely delicious. If you eat it with some fresh bread, you can use the bread to soak up all the leftover juices.Read More

This Apple Radish Arugula Salad is very refreshing. It is a simple dish with clean flavors and a nice crunchy texture. I love the fact that this Apple Radish Arugula Salad is not only healthy and tasty but very pretty too with all those different textures and colors. There’s something really pretty about radishes with their white, almost translucent interior and bright-red margin, but did you know that they are super-healthy too? Radishes are surprisingly rich in vitamin C which supports your immune system and the antioxidants in radishes can help fight free radical damage. Radishes, thinly sliced, are a great addition to any salad and can help you to get your daily healthy dose of vitamin C in. Read More
