Servings: 8 Servings
Ingredients
- 6 cups watermelon, diced into bite-size pieces
- ½ English cucumber, thinly sliced and quartered
- ½ cup red onion
- 2 cup arugula
- 1 ¼ cups feta cheese
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons mint, fresh chopped
Instructions
- Dice watermelon, cucumber, and onion into bite-size pieces.
- In a small bowl whisk the vinegar, oil, and black pepper together.
- Add watermelon, English cucumber, and red onion to a large bowl, toss together until combined.
- Toss in feta cheese, mint, arugula, and balsamic dressing. Stir until combined and serve immediately.
Notes
- For the very best flavor, use chilled watermelon and fresh mint.
- Assemble the salad shortly before serving to keep the arugula crisp and the watermelon juicy without becoming watery.
- Gently fold the ingredients together instead of vigorously stirring so the feta stays in larger crumbles throughout the salad.
