Watermelon Cucumber Salad
by Sigona's Home Deliveries: July 9, 2021
We’re loving watermelon this summer! It’s juicy, sweet and perfect for a hot day. While it’s great eaten on its own, especially as a side at a barbecue, it also makes a great ingredient in salads! This recipe combines the great flavors of summer watermelon, cucumbers, plus some added pepper flavor from the arugula.
Makes about 3-4 servings as a side, but no judgement if you decide to eat the whole salad as a meal on your own (we did!).
Ingredients for the dressing:
- ¼ cup of extra virgin olive oil
- 1 ½ tablespoons of white balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Ingredients for the salad:
- 4 cups arugula
- 2 cups watermelon
- ¼ cucumber, sliced
- 3 oz crumbled feta cheese
Directions:
- Whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, honey, poppy seeds and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, add the arugula, watermelon, and cucumber. Sprinkle with Feta.
- Sprinkle the dressing over the salad, toss and enjoy!
