At home we try to eat what’s in Season,  it feels like the right thing to do. So it’s really exciting when I see a Watermelon for the first time in season. Not only are they delicious but very healthy too. They are full of Lycopene which is a carotenoid  good for heart health and bone health. They also contain Citrulline.

Citrulline is an amino acid that is converted by our kidneys into arginine.

Watermelon contains about 250 milligrams of citrulline per cup.  Arginine improves blood flow and there’s also some preliminary evidence arginine may help prevent excess accumulation of fat in fat cells. Hello?

Ingredients;

• 2 bags of Arugula
• 1 small watermelon, peeled and diced
• 4 oz. Feta cheese
• 1  onion, peeled and sliced as thin as you can

• a bunch of fresh Mint. Pick of the leafs, thow the stems away.
• 1/2 C. Pomegranate Seeds
• 1/4 C. toasted Pine nuts
• 1 tbsp. Chia seeds
• 1/4 C. extra virgin olive oil
• juice of one lemon

Instructions;

Star of by putting the onion in a bowl with the juice of half a lemon and leave for about 15 minutes. This will take away the sharpness of the onion.

Arrange the Arugula on a platter. Scatter over the Watermelon. Then the drained onions.

Crumble over the Feta. Then tear the Mint leafs up a bit and sprinkle over the salad tucking the leafs in between the pieces of Watermelon.

Then scatter over the Pomegranate seeds, the Chia seeds and the Pine nuts. Serve drizzled with the olive oil and the remaining juice of the lemon.

Enjoy!
