Tips:

  • Choose ripe and flavorful watermelon: The quality of your watermelon will greatly impact the taste of the salad. Look for a watermelon that is heavy for its size, has a deep red color, and sounds hollow when you tap on it.
  • Use fresh arugula: Arugula is a delicate green with a peppery flavor that pairs well with the sweetness of watermelon. Make sure to use fresh arugula for the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A simple dressing of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper is all you need to enhance the flavors of the watermelon and arugula without overpowering them.
  • Add some salty cheese: A salty cheese like feta or goat cheese can help to balance out the sweetness of the watermelon and add a creamy texture to the salad.
  • Top with crunchy nuts or seeds: Nuts and seeds add a nice crunch and extra flavor to the salad. Some good options include walnuts, pecans, almonds, or pumpkin seeds.
