Watermelon Salad with Cucumber, Avocado, Feta & Mint
Watermelon salad is the juiciest, most refreshing thing to eat all summer long. A perfect mix of sweet and savory flavors, this salad is great served as a starter, or can be mixed with a grain such as quinoa (as seen here) for a filling, hydrating, and nutritionally-balanced meal:
- Quinoa and feta provide complex carbs and complete proteins
- Avocado and olive oil are filled with healthy fats
- Watermelon and cucumber contain many micronutrients.
PS – Serving this salad in the watermelon rind is optional, but much more fun (and less clean-up, too!) 😉
