Watermelon Feta Salad with Mint

Now that the weather is finally warming up I'm starting to crave traditional summer foods, like burgers and watermelon. I love to eat watermelon just by itself, but there's so much you can do to it to enhance the flavors even more. I've also been reading up on the health benefits of watermelon because how can something that tastes so good be healthy? But it's really truly healthy! It turns out that watermelon packs a ton of lycopene which assists with cardiovascular and bone health. It also helps reduce body fat, supports kidney function, has tons of antioxidants and supports eye health. It has a lot of other benefits too. Check out the link below for more!

About 8 mint leaves, chopped
