A Healthy Watermelon Summer Salad
Summer may be coming to an end, but eating light and healthy definitely doesn’t have to. This salad is a go-to all year around to ring back those delicious summer flavours while being healthy and nutritious and full of fibre that your body will thank you for.
Watermelon is full of water content that helps keep you staying hydrated and it actually does have fibre content. There’s about 0.3 grams of fibre per 100 grams or 2/3 cups of watermelon.
Is Watermelon Keto?
Watermelon is somewhat low in carbs and is a great addition when cravings hit. Keep in mind that there are natural sugars in watermelon that may spike your insulin.
Try to limit watermelon to 1 cup a serving, that way you will keep the carb count low, and keep blood sugars regulated. Also note that it is high in FODMAPS if that’s something you are looking out for.
Easy Watermelon Feta Salad Recipe
The combination of watermelon and feta is actually a match made in heaven. If you’ve tried it, you crave it and keep wanting more!
This salad is always a hit when people come over and seconds are always had. Serve it at bbq’s or summer feasts with family and friends, toss it up while camping, or bring it to a summer potluck. And if you have fresh herbs from the garden — like an abundance of mint like we do — you’ll want to add that in, too!
The kids love watermelon and reach for this salad which is also a mom-win in my books! They always always reach for mint leaves from the garden, so we knew they’d be mowing down on this healthy salad.
