Watermelon, Cucumber & Mixed Greens Summer Salad

Perfect Summer Salad for hot, sunny days!!

A couple of days ago, I had posted a question on Instagram asking you guys what you'd like to see on my blog and bunch of you requested for Easy Summer Salads, so I created this salad keeping you in mind.

Everything in this salad screams Summer! The mix of sweet, juicy watermelon and pineapple with crunchy cucumbers and pumpkin seeds makes it look so vibrant and beautiful and not to mention, so incredibly healthy. It's packed with anti-oxidants, Vitamin C, healthy fats and minerals like Zinc that are essential for our immunity and great for healthy, glowing skin.
