Your Ultimate Guide to Watermelon-Free Mediterranean Salads

Mediterranean salads burst with vibrant flavors and fresh ingredients, but for those with watermelon allergies or dietary restrictions, hidden melon can transform a healthy meal into a health hazard. At mm food, we're revolutionizing dining safety—our app instantly scans menus and flags ingredients that could put you at risk. Here’s how to savor authentic Mediterranean salads, watermelon-free.

Why Watermelon Sneaks into Mediterranean Menus

While watermelon isn’t traditional in classics like Greek salad, modern fusion dishes often add it for sweetness. From garnishes to fruit-infused dressings, it hides in descriptions like "summer medley" or "refreshing twist." Cross-contamination is another risk in kitchens handling melon.
