Healthy, because
The watermelon salad is not only light and low-fat, but also super refreshing! And the melon also does something for our health: lycopene, which is more commonly associated with tomatoes, is also found in watermelon. The strong antioxidant protects our cells from harmful environmental influences and thus also from the development of cancer.
Even smarter
Honeydew melon is an alternative to watermelon. Its pale yellow flesh is only slightly sweet and, like the watermelon, is also suitable for savoury dishes.
