Watermelon Feta Salad
We love eating this hydrating salad! It's a great thing to bring to a picnic or potluck.
Cut a seedless watermelon into bit sized chunks and put it in a bowl. Add some chopped fresh mint, 3 ounces of feta cheese, the juice of a lime and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, toss and serve.
Mango Avocado Salsa
This dip is the best! Serve it with some veggies or tortilla chips or on top of some grilled salmon or chicken.
Cut up 1 fresh mango, 1 avocado, 1/2 jalapeño (optional), 1/4 red onion, a handful of cilantro. Combine with the juice of one lime and season with salt and pepper.
Corn & Black Bean Salad
This is a great snack or side dish and can also be served with tortilla chips.
Combine 1 can of drained and rinsed black beans, 2 cups of fresh corn kernels, 1/2 chopped red onion, 1 chopped red bell pepper, and a handful of cilantro. Dress with juice of a lime and a drizzle of olive oil and season with salt & pepper.
