Health and fertility benefits of Lighter Watermelon Salad With Feta and Mint
Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Basil is an excellent stress reliever, and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Ingredients
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (4 lb) seedless watermelon, rind removed and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
1 shallot, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
3 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
To make the dressing, whisk together the lemon zest, juice, olive oil and salt in a small bowl. Combine the watermelon, shallot, mint and basil in a large bowl. Lightly toss with the dressing. Sprinkle with the feta; serve immediately or chill up to 1 hour before serving.
Test Kitchen Tip: Seedless watermelons vary in size. Bobby likes to use the small round variety. They weigh about 4 –5 lbs each. If they have any seeds, they are very small. Their rind is thinner than larger watermelons, so it's much easier to remove. Not only does this save you prep time, but since they are small, they take up a lot less space in the fridge!
