I tried this salad for the very first time earlier this year at a social gathering and wasn't sure what to expect. Let me tell y'all, it sure surprised me! I think the combination of sweet and savory flavors is what did it, making it a perfectly refreshing and super simple dish to make, enjoy, and share with your friends and family!

  • 1 cup sliced red onions
  • 3 cups arugula
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped

  • Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: Cucumbers 

Instructions:

Whisk olive oil, vinegar, and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Add tomatoes, arugula, and red onion; toss to coat. Gently stir in watermelon and feta cheese to serve.
