Hello folks! How are you doing? I hope this week has been treating you well, and you are now ready for the weekend.

Also, can you believe it is already the middle of August? That is shocking, am I right?

And while the season lasts, we should enjoy all the seasonal fruit and berries. For us, this is watermelon season these days.

Watermelon Strawberry Pistachio Salad

This Watermelon Strawberry Pistachio Salad is ridiculously easy to make, but the flavour profile is nothing short of outstanding! It is a perfect combination of sweet and salty things.

In this salad, sweet watermelon and strawberries are nicely balanced by feta and pistachios (I used salted here). Also, mint and arugula adds nice herbal and peppery notes.

While this dish is already juicy and does not require any dressing, a little drizzle of olive oil is always a good idea. Other additions that you can play around with would be balsamic vinegar or / and honey. It really depends on your preferences and natural sweetness of your fruit.
