Is Watermelon A Summer Superfruit?

Watermelon and Summer go together. Today is the first day of Summer so Meredith (The Southern Source) and I teamed up together to bring you a refreshing summer Watermelon and Feta Salad that you can make for your friends and family.

Summer Superfruits

So is watermelon a summer superfruit? I would like to think it is.  I found this article on all the health benefits of watermelon.  After reading a little more about this superfruit, I have found that it is a nutrient-dense food. It provides high levels of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants and just a small number of calories. That is music to my ears.

When I first started the keto diet to lose 10 pounds (check the post out here), I avoided all fruit.  The reason I decided to eliminate fruit from my diet was of the added sugar.  However, I have slowly added back in small amounts of fruit because of the nutrients I can get, especially from superfruits.

Another one of my favorite summer superfruits is blueberries.  Blueberries are an anti-aging powerhouse fruit with so many benefits including enhancing your brain health.  Did you see my post on Tuesday, 3 Things You Can Do To Improve Your Brain Health? Check out this article on the top 7 benefits of blueberries.

Watermelon And Feta Salad

Here is the recipe for the Watermelon and Feta Salad.  It is so good!

This Salad is so easy to make, even I can do it.  It is one you can make up ahead of time and serve it at a picnic or even for a fancy dinner party.  I love it for a luncheon with your girlfriends.

With hot summer days, a light refreshing Watermelon and Feta Salad is a perfect way to cool things off.
