Watermelon Salad
This watermelon salad with arugula and crumbled feta is the best summer salad ever! It's sweet and savory at the same time, it's super light, refreshing, and very satisfying. This salad may be unusual, but it's so delicious and really simple to make.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds (1360g) seedless watermelon cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 oz (115g) arugula/rocket
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 oz (115g) feta cheese
Instructions
- Place the cubed watermelon and the arugula in a large bowl.
- Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, add freshly squeezed lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper.
- Toss the salad so that everything is well coated in the dressing.
- Crumble feta cheese and on top of the salad, drizzle extra olive oil and season again if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes
- The only trick in this salad is not to add the feta cheese before tossing the salad! It will create a mess, and the salad won't look as nice.
- Feel free to add diced shallots or red onion, mint leaves, and cucumber for extra flavor.
- Avoid buying crumbled feta, and get a block of feta instead. It tastes much better! I prefer Greek feta to Hungarian or French in this recipe.
