Watermelon Goat Cheese Salad Recipe

Fresh Salad with Goat Cheese and Watermelon

Watermelon and Goat Cheese Salad

Are you a watermelon fan?

I generally think of it as a dessert-like fruit, but this Summer I have been enjoying watermelon goat cheese salad.

It is really refreshing, when you eat it on a warm Summer day.

This salad has a variety of flavors and textures, and they all come together beautifully.

It is sweet, sour and tart all at the same time.

I used Arugula microgreens this time, but the salad also works well with pea sprouts or regular arugula.

This was made with what my grocery store calls a ‘personal watermelon‘ that is about the size of a honeydew melon.

Ingredients:

3 T Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 T Balsamic Vinegar
pinch salt
pinch ground pepper
1 Small Watermelon, cut into chunks
1/2 c Arugula Microgreens
1/4 cup Onion, thinly sliced
2 oz Goat Cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup pine nuts

Instructions:

Whisk together oil, vinegar, salt and pepper.

Add arugula, watermelon and onion. Toss together gently.

Can be served immediately or can be chilled in the refrigerator.

Just prior to serving, top with goat cheese and pine nuts.
