Watermelon & Feta Salad- November Recipe

WOW!  No matter what part of Australia you live in, this spring has already been a scorcher – and it looks like there are a lot more ‘hot’ days to come.   Sometimes you may not feel like eating when it’s hot outside, but it’s important that you do simply because you run the risk of becoming deficient in vitamins and minerals.  Not only that, you have to ‘feed’ your body to keep your metabolism burning energy – food deprivation can lead to a slowing down of your metabolism which increases your chance of gaining weight.  ADD a great salad to your protein rich meal, and enjoy. Why not try this yummy watermelon & feta salad- with balsamic reduction?
