Balsamic Watermelon Feta Salad
Easiest salad on earth for a sweet boost of energy!
My family loves watermelon. This simple summer fruit has so many benefits besides tasting good!
For the athletes in your house, the easy to digest watermelon is the greatest recovery snack after workouts. Rich in amino acids these chunks of sweetness help with sore muscles and recovery time. L-citruline is rich in nitric oxide oxide, a gas that widens blood vessels which help in removing lactic acid build up.
Balsamic Watermelon Feta Salad
Ingredients:
fresh watermelon cut into chunks
balsamic glaze (or similar dressing) *
fresh mint finely chopped
crumbled feta cheese
Directions:
Combine the watermelon, mint and feta cheese.
Sprinkle a few drops of the balsamic glaze over the top.
Toss gently.
Enjoy!
A huge thank you goes out to the CVS Physicians Assistant who told me about this salad! We were exchanging foodie ideas and she brought this up. I went home and threw it together. Just a nice side to make when you have so much watermelon you don’t know what to do with it!
*I use the balsamic glaze available at Trader Joe’s. A few drops are full of flavor!
