Watermelon Salad Health Benefits

Watermelon salad is not only delicious, but it has some pretty great health benefits too! So you can keep your summer bod goals goin’ without losing any flavor! Here are just a few of the awesome benefits you can expect from this watermelon and feta salad:

  • Hydration—There’s nothing quite like taking that first bite of watermelon as the summer temperatures start to rise. Since watermelon is made up of 92% water, it’s a great way to keep your body hydrated when things start to heat up. [1]
  • Nutrients—This watermelon feta salad also comes with important nutrients from watermelon, like vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, and magnesium.
  • Waistline-approved—Watermelon contains very few calories, and just like cucumber, is mostly water. So if you’re looking to stick to your diet this summer, this watermelon feta salad recipe is sure to be your new best friend!
  • Antioxidants—The cucumbers in this watermelon and feta salad contain antioxidants, which can help protect against harmful free radicals. [2]
  • Youth-rejuvenation—What would a summer salad be without summertime skin-smoothing collagen? The dressing in this watermelon and feta salad is made with unflavored Super Youth collagen, so while you can’t taste it, you’ll definitely notice it when you look at your youthful skin in the mirror! 

This recipe is great because it’s a unique spin on the classic salad, which let’s be honest, can get a bit boring. So, move over greens, there’s a new healthy salad option in town! 

How To Make A Watermelon Feta Salad

Our summers are short, so this watermelon feta salad takes just 10 minutes to make! After you’ve mixed your dressing together, toss your watermelon cubes, cucumber, feta cheese, and onion into a large mixing bowl. Pour your skin-smoothing dressing over your mixture and you’ve got a light, crisp, refreshing lunch that you’ll want to make again and again! 

Cheers to making your summer salad menu a little bit sweeter this year, enjoy!
