No Summer is complete without a nice juicy piece of watermelon. It is not surprising that
watermelon is composed of about 90% water, creating the crisp texture with every bite.
Yes, watermelon is the perfect summer treat to quench our thirst on hot days and satisfy
our sweet tooth. Watermelon also gives you a nutritious bang for your bite—it contains a
nice amount of vitamin A, vitamin C, and the nutrient lycopene, which gives watermelon
its red pigment and decreases inflammation. 1 cup of watermelon yields a mere 46 calories
and counts as 1 serving of the recommended 2 servings of fruit per day.
As much as watermelon tastes amazing by itself, it also adds the perfect amount of sweetness,
color, and texture to a salad. In fact, watermelon and feta is a match made in heaven with a
flavorful sweet and salty combination, which featured in this week’s recipe.
