Refreshing Watermelon Salad with a Twist

Sweet, spicy & aromatic, this watermelon salad is light and refreshing and pairs perfectly with a hot summer’s day. The favours were inspired by a delicious watermelon cocktail I had that was served with lime and spicy jalapeño.

Are you in a salad rut?

This shaved crisp salad is sweet, refreshing and delivers layers of deliciousness with a satisfying crunch. The Tahini dressing is velvety smooth and pairs beautifully with this dish. 

The “Keep it Flexible” Pesto Bean Salad with Fresh Basil & Radish

Serve it alone as a salad or on top of thick-sliced crusty bread topped with goat cheese. Don’t have cannelloni beans on hand? Switch them out for any other white bean like butter beans. Basil can also be substituted with any leafy green such as arugula. I like to keep this recipe simple by using store-bought pesto.

This easy to make recipe by Milk & Marigolds is spring inspired and full of freshness and flavour.  Follow my instagram account & recipes at: @milkandmarigolds
