Tips:

  • Choose ripe watermelon: Look for a watermelon that is symmetrical in shape, has a deep red color, and sounds hollow when thumped.
  • Use fresh, peppery arugula: Baby arugula is more tender and flavorful than mature arugula.
  • Add a variety of toppings: Goat cheese, walnuts, red onion, avocado, and balsamic glaze are all great additions to this salad.
  • Make a simple dressing: A simple dressing made with olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper is all you need to enhance the flavors of the salad.
  • Serve immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made, as the watermelon will start to release its juices and the arugula will wilt.
