Mood-Boosting Summer Salad

As we transition into the warmer months, I find myself craving light and refreshing dishes that can brighten up any meal. Today, I’m excited to share a recipe for a unique mood-boosting summer salad that combines fresh, seasonal ingredients in a flavorful and unexpected way.

Ingredients:

• 200g baby spinach
• 300g watermelon, diced
• 100g feta cheese, crumbled
• 50g pistachios, roughly chopped
• a handful of fresh mint leaves
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• to taste
• to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• knife
• cutting board
• mixing bowl
• whisk

Start by washing the baby spinach thoroughly and patting it dry. In a mixing bowl, combine the baby spinach, diced watermelon, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped pistachios. Tear the mint leaves and add them to the bowl.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and balsamic vinegar to create a simple dressing. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

The combination of sweet watermelon, salty feta cheese, crunchy pistachios, and refreshing mint creates a delightful flavor profile that is perfect for a light summer meal or a picnic in the park.

Unique Tip:

For an added burst of flavor, try sprinkling some crumbled crispy bacon on top of the salad before serving. The smokiness of the bacon complements the sweetness of the watermelon for an extra layer of deliciousness.

This mood-boosting summer salad weighs approximately 700g when fully prepared. It serves 4 people with each serving weighing around 175g. One serving of this salad is approximately 200 calories.
