In Swedish, “kärlek” means love (the noun) and “mums” means yummy, or simply yum! When I’ve made this for friends in the States, I’ve simply called it love yum so feel free to use that if you want.
This is...

Arugula, melon & lime salad
This recipe is perfect for superhot summer days and that’s why I decided to post it. It’s very simple, but the combination of salty, tart and refreshing makes it nice for the kind of weather we’re having in Sweden right now. Enjoy!

And, no, it doesn’t “increase my well-being” or cure diseases or do any of those other unsubstantiated things people claim, but it does help with lower back pain (of which I have plenty). After carrying things up and down the stairs all morning,...
