Ingredients
Units
Scale
For the balsamic reduction
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 tablespoon honey
For the Salad
- 4 cups Baby Arugula
- 3 cups Seedless watermelon (cubed)
- 1/2 cup Pickled Red Onions
- 1/4 cup Feta cheese (crumbled)
- Pine nuts (to taste)
- Extra virgin olive oil (to taste)
- Kosher salt (to taste)
Instructions
- To make the balsamic reduction – Combine balsamic vinegar and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Heat until just boiling. Reduce heat to low (a slow simmer), stir occasionally, and simmer until volume is reduced by at least half. The balsamic will continue to thicken as it cools. Once completely cool, store in the refrigerator. I like to keep mine in a mini mason jar.
- To make the salad – Drizzle arugula with a little bit of olive oil and season with Kosher salt. Top with cubed watermelon, red onions, feta cheese, and pine nuts. Drizzle generously with the balsamic reduction. Enjoy!!
Notes
- Use goat cheese or shaved parmesan in place of the feta.
- Add several leaves of fresh mint along with the arugula for added flavor depth.
