Watermelon mint and feta salad

Doesn’t watermelon just make you think of summer, barbecues and picnics? For me, watermelon also brings up great memories with my Dad. Leaning up against the railing of our deck with a big plate of sliced watermelon, spitting the seeds over the edge and talking about life in the warm sunshine. It doesn’t get much better than that.

What makes watermelon an even more perfect summer fruit? As well as it’s high water content to help keep you hydrated, watermelon is one of the highest lycopene containing fruits. Lycopene is a powerful antioxidant that has a higher-than-average ability to protect our body from free radical damage associated with cardiovascular risk,  certain cancers and premature aging (particularly premature skin aging).

I hope you enjoy this refreshing salad over some great conversations and warm summer nights.
