Salad Ingredients
- 3 cups cubed seedless watermelon
- 3 peaches, cut into 1/2-inch segments
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon minced chives
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 3 cups baby arugula
Dressing Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon minced jalapenos
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Instructions
- Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large bowl, gently mix together the cubed watermelon, peach segments, sliced scallions, minced chives, and crumbled feta cheese until evenly distributed.
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the minced jalapeños, minced garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, lime juice, and olive oil until fully emulsified to create a fresh, zesty dressing.
- Dress the Salad: Pour half of the dressing over the fruit and feta mixture and toss gently to coat all ingredients with the flavorful dressing.
- Add the Arugula: Stir in the baby arugula carefully to combine without bruising the greens. Add more dressing as desired to suit your taste preferences, then toss lightly again before serving.
Notes
- Use ripe peaches and watermelon for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- Adjust jalapeño quantity according to your preferred spice level.
- This salad is best served fresh to maintain the crispness of the watermelon and arugula.
- Feta can be substituted with a vegan cheese for a dairy-free option.
- For added crunch, consider tossing in some toasted nuts or seeds.
