    Ingredients for Arugula Salad

    Salad Ingredients

    • Watermelon
    • Fresh blueberries
    • Feta cheese
    • Cucumber 
    • Arugula
    Vinaigrette Dressing for Arugula Salad

    Vinaigrette

    • Olive oil
    • Limes 
    • White distilled vinegar
    • Honey
    • Garlic
    • Salt
    • Black Pepper 
    • Fresh mint 

    Instructions

    1. In a large serving bowl or platter, layer or arrange the watermelon, blueberries, feta, cucumber, and arugula as desired. 
    2. Place the dressing ingredients into a jar or other container with a lid and shake vigorously to combine.

    FAQ’s for this Recipe

    Can I substitute the greens?

    Yes, you can use romaine, spinach, or butter lettuce if you prefer

    What does Arugula Taste Like?

    The Mediterranean plant has a distinctive peppery flavor, and the thin stalks resemble dandelion greens.

    Can you make this salad ahead of time?

    Yes, you can make this salad up to 24 hours in advance. I would add the watermelon at the last minute because of the water content. Do not add dressing. Place in a Tupperware bowl or cover a glass bowl.

    What other ingredients would be good to add?

    Thin sliced red onions, sliced almonds or walnuts. Also avocado would be good.
