Watermelon, Fennel & Mint Salad

Summer is my favourite season for creating fruit and veggie salads that are not only flavourful, but super refreshing.

This salad contains a few of my favourites: Watermelon, Fennel, and Mint

The dressing is tangy and sweet but doesn’t compete with the sweetness of the fresh watermelon. And the mint gives this salad the perfect amount of earthy freshness to balance the whole dish out. Mint and fennel are also great for digestion, which is great for my IBD warriors!
