Last week I shared with you my recipe for the most refreshing and delicious Watermelon feta fresh mint summer salad.
This week one of the main ingredients continues to be feta – a good way to avoid waste or spare feta or fresh mint in your fridge, right?
Be S.M.A.R.T and continue to impress friends and family and prepare a quick, easy & nutritious salad with my minimal ingredient Pea Feta Fresh Mint Salad.
