The watermelon in this salad was not very sweet. It kind of ruined the whole dish.

I used feta cheese instead of goat cheese because I didn't have any goat cheese on hand. It was still very good.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, so I omitted the jalapeño. The salad was still delicious without it.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover watermelon. I had some watermelon that was starting to go bad, and this salad was the perfect way to use it up.

I'm not usually a fan of arugula, but I loved it in this salad. The peppery flavor was balanced out by the sweetness of the watermelon and the creaminess of the goat cheese.
