WATERMELON + CHERRY SALAD

This is like getting your hydration, skincare, and recovery all in a bowl. It’s loaded with hydration, antioxidants, and cherries have ingredients that not only help with anti inflammation but they’re great for muscle recovery. This is one of my fav watermelon salad combinations with a lot of great crunch, texture, flavors, and mediterranean vibes that feels so elevated. As always, adjust the fruit ratios below however way you wish depending on your mood. And feel free to swap the feta cheese for goat cheese, and the walnuts for pistachios, pecan
