Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful watermelon. A good watermelon should be heavy for its size and have a deep yellow spot on the rind where it rested on the ground.
  • Cut the watermelon into small, bite-sized pieces. This will make it easier to eat and toss with the other salad ingredients.
  • Use a variety of greens. Arugula, spinach, and mixed greens all work well in this salad.
  • Toast the pine nuts. Toasting the pine nuts will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant.
  • Use a light, flavorful dressing. A simple vinaigrette or balsamic vinegar dressing is a good choice for this salad.
  • Serve the salad immediately. Watermelon is best enjoyed when it is fresh and crisp.

Conclusion:

Watermelon on arugula and pine nut salad is a refreshing, flavorful salad that is perfect for a summer meal. The combination of sweet watermelon, peppery arugula, and crunchy pine nuts is delicious and satisfying. This salad is also very easy to make, making it a great option for a weeknight meal or a potluck.
