Bursting with fresh, summer flavours, this light and refreshing cantaloupe salad recipe is simply perfect for hot summer days when the melons are at their best. With salty briny feta, sweet juicy cantaloupe, crunchy juicy cucumber, and a citrusy dressing made with mint & lime, it's the perfect mix of savory and sweet. Serve it as a side dish at a barbecue or picnic.
Not only was it visually delightful and appealing, but it was so delicious that you would want to come back for more. You can also use bamboo skewers to thread them together with some fresh mint leaves.

Zaalouk is a popular Moroccan cooked salad or dip with eggplants and tomatoes seasoned with paprika, cumin, garlic, and herbs. It's versatile, delicious with bold flavours and can be served warm or cold. Traditionally, zaalouk is served with crispy bread or flatbread, but to keep it low carb, I have paired it with some crispy, pan-fried Greek halloumi that works perfectly with the flavours of the well spiced eggplants and tomatoes.

This fresh and light salad makes the perfectly light and delicious meal. The sweetness of the cantaloupe compliments the rest of the ingredients seamlessly. As quick and easy as it is delicious. You can use prawns or crab meat if you can't get hold of crayfish tails. Cantaloupe can be substituted with mango, apple or berry. If you want a more satiating meal, throw in some leftover cooked pasta, roasted potatoes or grains.

Scotch eggs, a classic British pub food, are soft or hard-boiled eggs encased in sausage meat, breaded and fried or baked. (https://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com/2021/03/baharat-lamb-scotch-eggs.html) This meat-free version of Scotch egg recipe makes a creative Middle Eastern spin on this classic snack (or appetizer) and we are speeding it up by using an organic ready made falafel mix.
Making your own falafel is not diffcult, it just takes time. If you are interested in making your own, here are a few of falafel recipes that I shared on my blog before.
