Watermelon , Arugula, & Feta Salad

I love the flavor combination in this simple watermelon, arugula, and feta salad. It is a cool,
crisp summer salad and is perfect to serve with anything you are grilling.

Servings:

2-3 large salads

4-5 side salads

Prep Time10

Total Time10

Course: Salad

Ingredients

6 cups arugula
2 cups watermelon diced into 1 inch cubes
⅓ cup feta cheese
10-12 mint leaves sliced
¼ red onion thinly sliced
Extra virgin olive oil drizzled
Balsamic glaze drizzled

Instructions

To marinate red onion (this is optional- makes it less strong tasting compared to when it is raw): place the sliced red onion in a wide bottom bowl. Cover the onions 3/4 of the way with red wine vinegar (or white wine vinegar) and then add water until the onion Is submerged. Set aside and occasionally stir. This is best done at least an hour before eating, the longer it sits the better.
To assemble the salad, place the arugula in a medium bowl or on a large platter. Add the remaining ingredients (through red onion- Be sure to strain the red wine vinegar from the onions before adding to the salad).
Wait until you are ready to serve to dress the salad, since the arugula will get soggy if it sits in the dressing for too long. Drizzle the salad with olive oil and balsamic glaze. Enjoy!
