Watermelon and feta salad
Watermelon and Feta Salad is a refreshing and flavourful dish that combines the sweetness of watermelon with the tanginess of feta cheese and the freshness of herbs and greens.
Watermelon. Watermelon has it all: high levels of vitamins A, C and B6, as well as potassium for cramps and magnesium. Magnesium helps muscles relax, which can prevent premature contractions during pregnancy.
Feta that is pasteurised is safe to eat during pregnancy.
