Because summer is all about easy, light and delicious meals, wouldn’t you agree?!?
And nothing is better that a salad bowl loaded with flavor and your daily dose of seafood to make you want to have “just salad” for lunch every single day!
Look at this summer salad!
It's the perfect quick lunch, ready in only a few minutes, fresh and healthy, and super tasty.
It's a great combination of sweet and savory, juicy and crunchy. All in one big bowl.
The usual cucumber-watermelon salad normally comes with red onions (but I'm not a huge fan of raw onions), and crumbled feta cheese (yum). You can add either, or both.
OR you can do just like I did and add some crispy and golden fish fillets. It adds some extra protein and lots of flavor.
Ready to try it too?!?
Here is my quick and easy recipe!
