Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons white balsamic vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups arugula
  • 2 cups baby spinach leaves
  • ½ cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes halved
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 cups bite-sized watermelon chunks
  • ½ cup dried cranberries and pecans

Instructions

  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk the olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, and salt together. Set aside.
  • Combine the arugula, spinach, onions, and tomatoes in a large salad bowl.
  • Drizzle the prepared vinaigrette over the salad mixture. Toss to coat.
  • Add the feta cheese, watermelon, dried cranberries, and pecans just before serving.

Notes

  • This is a great light and fresh recipe for a hot summer day. 
  • You can substitute the feta for fresh mozzarella or blue cheese crumbles. 
  • This is not a great recipe for leftovers as the spinach and arugula starts getting soggy.
  • I recommend eating within a day of making.
