Melon, Tomato & Mozzarella Salad

I believe in healthy eating on a daily basis – less salt intake, use olive oil, less sugar intake, avoid deep-frying food possible.. etc. Thus, a bowl of vegs and fruits brings more good than harm and it doesn’t take a lot of time to prepare.

There are times where I want to have my food quick yet it has be to good. Salad always come to my mind. It’s always good to start a meal with a bowl of salad, which is said to rev up one’s appetite. I love salads – all sorts. Not only they fill me up but it makes me feel less guilty sometimes when I think I have eaten too much.

Combination of flavours is very important in making salad. Thus, I thought Melon, Tomatoes, Mozzarella & Lettuce Salad would be great choice of combination. Melon, Tomatoes, Mozzarella & Lettuce Salad salad took probably less than 15 minutes to prepare.
