    How is this watermelon feta basil salad healthy?

    This watermelon salad is healthy due to its ingredients.

    • Watermelon is a great source of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin B-6.
    • Strawberries are a good source of Potassium and Folate. It is also rich in dietary fiber, Vitamin C, and Manganese.
    • Feta Cheese provides calcium, protein, Vitamin B6 and B-12 to the body. Dairy products when eaten in moderate amounts are good for health as they contain saturated fat.
    • Basil is a herb. And, it contains anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

    Ingredients

    • 5-6 cups watermelon pieces (about 1″ in size)
    • 2 cups strawberries cut into quarter
    • ยฝ cup crumbled feta cheese
    • ยผ cup loosely packed fresh basil roughly chopped
    • salt to taste (optional)

    Instructions

    • In a large mixing bowl combine watermelon, strawberries, cheese and basil. Gently mix to avoid breaking the watermelon pieces.
    • While serving, add little bit of salt to enhance the taste (remember feta cheese has some salt in it). It is completely optional and tastes great even without it.

    • Chill watermelon pieces before preparing the salad to enjoy the cold version.
    • Tastes amazing when fresh. However, you can refrigerate the leftovers for the next day.
