Healthy Watermelon and Tomato Salad

Thursday July 23, 2009
Enjoy this watermelon and tomato salad at room temperature, which apart from bringing out the flavors, is supposed to allow us to enjoy the maximum health benefits from the watermelon. Like tomatoes, watermelon is an excellent source of lycopene, a disease-fighting antioxidant, which is most potent in room-temperature fruit. A small drizzle of heart-healthy olive oil, and a sprinkling of low-fat feta cheese allows us to enjoy a great-tasting salad without much sacrifice.
