Had a version of this at a gourmet Country Club golf banquet. Very classy, very easy, low-cal & delish. Everyone asks for the recipe & I'm always asked to bring it to summer get-togethers.

  • 2/3 cup fresh mint (not spearmint if possible) chopped

How To Make watermelon-mint fresh & fat-free salad

  • Step 1
    Mix it all up. Serve or refrigerate for a day. Note: If your meal has no other oils or fat in it, splash a bit of light-flavored olive oil on this salad for better vitamin absorption.
  • Step 2
    I've made many versions of this, including with other melons or sturdy fruit, as well as chunks of jicama. Use what's sweet & ripe. Smaller amount great with cottage cheese instead of feta for lunch or cool summer dinner.
