Refreshing watermelon and cucumber salad

I love a good simple and refreshing salad during the hot summer months. Who wants to turn on the oven in 30 + degrees, not me. I love this watermelon and cumber salad, its so refreshing, so so easy to make and tastes amazing. This refreshing watermelon and cucumber salad would make a perfect salad at your next BBQ.

Watermelon is a perfect summer fruit, it is super hydrating, containing over 90 percent water.  watermelon is also an excellent source of lycopene. Lycopene is a powerful antioxidant which plays a role in cancer prevention and cardiovascular health. Cucumbers add quite a nutrition punch to these popsicles, like watermelon, cucumbers are super hydrating, contain insoluble fiber and have anti-inflammatory properties for cardiovascular prevention, anti-aging and neurological impairment.
