watermelon summer salad recipe feata cheese cucumbers easy low calorie diet gluten free seasoning bbq ideas snack fruits

Refreshing, juicy and thirst quenching, this watermelon cucumber salad is loaded with flavour and vitamins! I made this watermelon summer salad following this recipe here, but I altered it a bit since I didn’t have fresh basil or fresh mint leaves. What I came up with was a fun, easy meal to make for barbecues, summer get-togethers or just to whip up for a lazy lunch. You most likely have all the ingredients in the pantry, so take a look at my easy watermelon salad recipe below and get started! 

– 1/2 large watermelon, cut into cubes
– 2 english cucumbers, peeled, cut into half and then sliced
– 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
– 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– basil, salt, and pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and toss everything together making sure to evenly coat the watermelon and cucumbers. Enjoy!

These 3 step Greek yogurt chicken tortilla wraps are the perfect light, low-cal lunch that takes just minutes to make! I made these on the weekend and was so amazed at how good they turned out, and how fast they are to make. Trust me, they are sooooo delicious!!

They are a really light meal and are refreshing to eat, perfect for those hot summer days when greasy sodium-packed foods should be avoided. What I love about these tortillas is that they contain no mayo, only Greek yogurt which is an amazing alternative, you won’t even be able to tell the difference! 

This recipe was adapted from Tammy’s avocado and Greek yogurt chicken salad. I didn’t have every ingredient on her list so I had to switch it up a bit, but it turned out just as delicious!

Low Cal Greek Yogurt Chicken Tortilla Wraps

 

Ingredients:
 
  1. 1 ripe avocado, removed from skin

  3. 1 tsp garlic granulated garlic
  4. 1 tsp salt
  5. 1 tsp ground pepper
  6. Juice from half a lemon
  7. 2 cups finely chopped chicken (I used a store bought rotisserie chicken)
  8. 1 red onion, chopped
  9. Tomatoes, chopped in squares
  10. 1 Cucumber, sliced thinly lengthwise
  11. 8 medium sized lettuce leaves
  12. 4 Tortillas
Instructions:
 
  1. In a blender blend together avocado, Greek yogurt, garlic, salt, pepper, and lemon.
  2. Pour into a bowl and mix in onion and shredded chicken.
  3. Place two leaves of lettuce onto tortilla and slather mixture over lettuce. Top with tomatoes and cucumber. Roll up and serve!
Notes
 
  1. I spritzed my tortillas with water and placed in oven for about 5 minutes to soften them up. You can also do the same and place them in the microwave, which works better! I also used toothpicks to prevent the tortillas from falling apart!

Healthy Vegetarian Greek Style Whole Wheat Pizza!

Looking for an easy Greek style pizza recipe? I made this DELICIOUS pizza last weekend and I couldn’t get over how easy and filling it is! Loaded with veggies, two types of cheese, and a remarkable taste of the Mediterranean, this pizza made with home-made pizza dough makes the perfect lunch or dinner fix in a snap! If you have never made homemade pizza dough, don’t be discouraged, it’s so simple and can save you tons of calories and money. The whole wheat dough is super filling and has much more fibre than regular white pizza dough. 

If you are a meat-eater you can easily add chopped up bacon to the toppings or even some prosciutto to the top. You can also buy or make your own tzatziki sauce and use it as a pizza dip!

* For those of you asking, I added baking soda and baking powder to the dough, which is said to be a pizza makers secret to fantastic dough, and it turned out great! I also added absolutely NO salt to the toppings or in the pizza dough since there is enough sodium in the cheese as well as the pickled black olives. Enjoy!
