Basil Lime Watermelon Salad
This zesty take on the watermelon salad has become a favorite in our house during the hot summer months. The flavors of the lime, basil and avocado combine well with the jalapeno slices to give it that little punch and make it stand out from the normal summer salads.
Watermelon not only tastes great, then add the fact it contains approximately 90% water, it makes it a good thirst quencher. But don’t let the water content fool you! The nutrients are many including Vitamin A, B6, C, lycopene, potassium, and antixidants. The basil adds many additional nutrients including phytochemicals that may help reduce stress hormones. Between the great taste and boost to our health, it’s a great additiona to any summer barbecue.
