Nothing says summer like ice cold watermelon. 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.
This is The Organic Kitchen’s take on a traditional watermelon/mint/feta salad which is usually dressed with a white rice vinegar. I find that dressing a little strong and acidic so I opt for the smoother, creamier white balsamic from Prelibato.

And then add just a pinch of my favorite Chef’s salt (affiliate link)

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 🙂
Can I substitute dried mint? Only have a tiny bit of fresh on hand
I have never tried so I really don’t know!
