Strawberry & Watermelon Salad

with cucumbers, feta and mint

SOUND BITE

Sometimes simple can be simply amazing! Crisp, cool and refreshing watermelon pairs perfectly with juicy strawberries and tangy lime juice. Chunks of feta and sprigs of fresh mint take it over the top. Serve this vibrant salad on a hot summer day.

Is Watermelon Healthy?

If summer had a mascot, it would probably be watermelon.

Refreshing, juicy and basically sunshine in a slice.

But is it healthy? You bet! 

First off, it’s about 90% water, so it helps keep you hydrated on those hot summer days. 

And don’t let the sweetness fool you—watermelon is relatively low in sugar compared to other fruits. Plus, it’s packed with vitamins A and C, which are great for your skin and immune system.

It’s also one of the best sources of lycopene, the antioxidant that gives tomatoes their red color. Lycopene is linked to heart health and may even help protect your skin from the sun.

And when you pair watermelon with salty feta and fresh mint? That’s trifecta perfecta!

There’s something about eating juicy watermelon that brings out the inner child in me. 

Greta: Hey Justin, where do watermelons go on vacation? 

Justin: No idea. Where?

Greta: (giggling) John Cougar’s Melon Camp! 

Justin: Wow. Just wow.
