My Mom’s Watermelon Salad

---

I made my mom a cookbook for her birthday this year featuring our favorite recipes of hers and my favorite of all these is her watermelon feta salad. 

The watermelon is so refreshing on a hot summer day and the feta, lime and mint keep it interesting and full of flavor, and add a little protein and fat for slower sugar spikes.

Cool Tips:

• You can even add a little olive oil, pepper, and arugula to make it into a side salad.
