Watermelon
Arugula
Feta
Pickled red onion
Olive oil
Balsamic Vinegar
Agave syrup
Apple cider vinegar

Quick tip before starting

This is a recipe I don’t suggest you put the recipe together too far ahead of time. As the watermelon sits it releases a lot of water washing away the flavors in the salad.

The salad can be prepped ahead of time but leave the watermelon to the side. That way right before serving and adding the dressing you can drain any excess water that builds up in the bowl.

Storing the watermelon salad

This is not a recipe to be frozen and honestly as it continues to sit more water will come out of the watermelon washing the flavors away. This salad can keep for 3-4 days but its best on the first day.

Ingredients

3 cup watermelon cubed
1 ounce arugula
1/2 cup feta crumbled
1/2 cup pickled red onion

Dressing

1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoon agave syrup
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

First, cut or buy cubed watermelon. While you are prepping the other ingredients, place the watermelon in a bowl to the side.
In a small bowl or measuring cup, measure out 1/4 cup of olive oil. Then, add in balsamic vinegar, agave syrup and apple cider vinegar.
Then in a large bowl, add arugula, feta, pickled onion and give that a toss. The onions and feta will want to settle at the bottom.
Next, add in the cubed watermelon then pour the dressing over the salad. Give everything a good toss. As mentioned the feta and onions will try to settle at the bottle so make sure to bring them up to the top.
Serve immediately.
