We think we all can agree that there is nothing better in the Summer than getting to eat all your favorite “grilled” dinners. Whether it’s steak, hotdogs, hamburgers, kabobs, or BBQ chicken, this salad is the perfect add on to any Summer-time dinner!
This watermelon salad is the perfect combination of savory and sweet — it’s a staple in our house as soon as the weather breaks!
We start by cutting our watermelon into bigger chunks –here we did two wedges per dish.
We then prep our salad –using arugula for this is our favorite! We season with salt, pepper, olive oil, and regular or white balsamic! You can use any dressing you like, but balsamic is our favorite.
Candied walnuts!! This is an extra step that totally makes this salad. It’s super simple, just a little bit of butter and sugar in a skillet — toss around your walnuts until caramelized. Then lay out on parchment paper until you are ready to use!
Finally, we assemble! Watermelon on bottom, followed by a generous serving of arugula salad, topped with candied walnuts, and we like to do a drizzle of balsamic glaze!
Lastly, an optional addition is a sprinkle of feta cheese to finish it off!
We paired our salads with filets and parsley potatoes. The perfect Summer meal!
