HEALTH & BENEFITS

Melons, especially cantaloupes, are a great source of vitamin C, which supports immune function, collagen synthesis, and wound healing. They also contain potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure and supports heart health. Grapes are rich in antioxidants, such as resveratrol, which has been linked to reducing inflammation and improving heart health. The lime and orange juice in the dressing also provide vitamin C.
