Get Your Lycopene here!
Watermelon is high in Lycopene, a nutrient usually associated with tomatoes. But unlike tomatoes, watermelons do not have to be cooked to release this heart healthy nutrient. Cup for cup watermelon has 40% more antioxidants than tomatoes.
Only Five Ingredients!
This beautiful salad has only five ingredients. Watermelon, mint, feta, sea salt and vinegar. This salad which is usually dressed with a white rice vinegar. I find that dressing a little strong and acidic so I opt for this smoother, creamier vinegar: Prelibato White Balsamic vinegar from Italy. You may get lucky and find it in a store, but I almost always have to buy online. Second choice, O California White Balsamic. (<—Amazon link) I find this one in many stores and it’s a little easier on the wallet.
Finish with a pinch of my favorite Chef’s salt (affiliate link) and voila! A cold, refreshing fruit salad that’s the perfect combo of sweet and salty with a hint of mint!

yay! Have fun. I am sure it will be beautiful!
Is there anything that can be used in place of the white balsamic?
Nope…the white balsamic is used in place of white rice vinegar which I find to be very acidic. But you could give that a try if you wish:)
Thanks for sharing 🙂

I have never tried so I really don’t know!
