Watermelon Arugula Salad with Blue Cheese and Balsamic
Such a balance of flavors with the salty cheese, bitter greens and sweet watermelon.
Ingredients
- 5 oz clamshell of fresh arugula
- 4 cups fresh watermelon, cubed Cut the watermelon a day in advance and store in the fridge. It's sweeter day 2.
- 4 oz blue cheese If you aren't a blue cheese lover use feta.
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 2 limes juiced
- 1/2 cup good olive oil
- 1 tsp honey
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground or course ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp thick balsamic vinegar to drizzle
Instructions
- Mix lime juice, olive oil salt and pepper enough to emulsify. I like to put it in a jar with a lid and shake it.
- Mix arugula with basil and toss with dressing. Mix in watermelon. Top with cheese and drizzle with balsamic.
- Serve immediately.
