This salad is light and refreshing – you will love this! When Melons are in season it is great to mix them up and this recipe does just that.
A little bit of “Healthy”, undamaged, saturated fat from the cream adds to a sense of fullness and helps to balance your blood sugars. This salad contains plenty of fluid, fiber, enzymes and antioxidants too. Plus the cinnamon is a wonderful circulatory herb, blood sugar stabilizer and is proven to lower cholesterol.
It is great for lunch or dinner.
