Tips:

  • Choose ripe, juicy watermelon: Look for melons that are heavy for their size and have a deep red color. Avoid melons with blemishes or soft spots.
  • Use high-quality arugula: Fresh, peppery arugula adds a nice contrast to the sweet watermelon. Avoid wilted or yellowed arugula.
  • Toast the pine nuts: Toasting the pine nuts brings out their flavor and makes them more fragrant. You can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes.
  • Use a good quality balsamic vinegar: Balsamic vinegar adds a rich, tangy flavor to the dressing. Look for a balsamic vinegar that is aged for at least 12 years.
  • Let the salad rest: After you dress the salad, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Watermelon on Arugula and Pine Nut Salad is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for summer. The sweet watermelon, peppery arugula, and crunchy pine nuts are a delicious combination, and the balsamic vinegar dressing adds a nice tangy flavor. This salad is also very easy to make, and it can be ready in just a few minutes. So next time you're looking for a light and healthy salad, give Watermelon on Arugula and Pine Nut Salad a try.
