Summer recipe

From "Ayurveda against stress" by Kerstin Rosenberg

The combination of sweet melon, salty feta and fresh mint has a cooling, calming effect and balances Vata and Pitta - an ideal combination on hot summer days. The watermelon salad is also ideal as an invigorating lunchtime snack, for overcoming an afternoon slump or after sport.
