What ingredients do I need to make this Watermelon Feta Salad?

• Fat free or reduced fat feta cheese-crumbled
• Mint leaves-minced
• Limes-juiced
• Sea salt

How to pick a watermelon?

1. Go for the size– If it’s uniform size and heavy- then it will be sweet. If it’s elongated it will tend to be more watery than sweet.
2. Look for the field spot-Most watermelons should have a patch on the bottom, which is where they were resting on the ground before being picked. If the watermelon has a patch that’s a creamy yellow or orange, the watermelon is ripe. If it’s white or green, it was probably picked too soon and isn’t ripe. Remember watermelons do not ripen after they’re picked.
3. Does it have webbing? Smaller webbing means it’s bland, the larger the webbing the more sweet it will be.
4. What color is it-If the watermelon is dark and dull it means it’s ripe. If it’s shiny it means it’s not ripe!
