Watermelon Salad

Watermelon is so refreshing in the hot summer months. It is sweet and juicy and satisfies many of your hot-day cravings. This twist on the basics is something I love. I remember the first time someone suggested I try basil with watermelon. I honestly thought they were crazy! I couldn’t imagine it tasting good. But I always like to try something at least once. I was pleasantly surprised with how the flavor-tones and aroma of the watermelon and fresh basil paired so well. It was delightful. Then, the addition of lemon adds a wonderful brightness to it all. The combination of these three ingredients truly creates a full experience for the entire pallet with earthy, tangy, and sweet flavors.

Give if I try! I think you’ll like it too.

Ingredients:

1 small Watermelon or ½ of a large Watermelon

1 Lemon- juiced - or more to taste

A couple sprigs of Fresh Basil

To create:

Slice your watermelon into chunks and place them in a bowl.

Chopp the basil leaves and sprinkle over the watermelon and give it a little stir to evenly combine the flavors.

Squeeze the juice of the lemon over all of it.

That’s it! Easy and delicious!

If you prepped it in advance make sure to give it another little toss or stir prior to serving to make sure the lemon juices haven't all settled to the bottom.

Enjoy these amazing summer flavors together! Say yes to tasty healthy treats and yes to a happy mouth with The Yes Lifestyle!
