Watermelon Feta and Pomegranate Salad

Watermelon Feta and Pomegranate Salad is one of our favorite summer salads. I made it a lot all summer but am just getting around to posting it on this blog now. I start this salad by making a quick Lemon Mint Vinaigrette. Then, I tossed the vinaigrette with arugula, yellow tomatoes, watermelon, feta cheese, mint leaves, and pomegranate seeds. We like this salad for several reasons. First of all, I like that I can make this salad in just about ten minutes. Secondly, I like that I can make this salad ahead of time. Then, I just add the dressing right before serving it. And, lastly, we all love the delicious fruit and the minty vinaigrette.

The Equipment I Used

A Salad Spinner- Use this to dry your arugula. If the arugula is wet the vinaigrette won’t cling to it.
A Small Jar- I used this to shake up the vinaigrette.
A Big Bowl- Use this to toss everything together.

The Ingredients Needed for Watermelon Feta and Pomegranate Salad

Arugula- I like to buy the Earthbound Farms organic arugula.
Mint Leaves- Mint adds so much great flavor to both the salad and the vinaigrette.
Pomegranate Seeds- Removing these from the fruit can be time consuming, but it’s worth it.
Feta Cheese- Store any leftover cheese in the freezer.
Oil- Use extra virgin olive oil to make the vinaigrette. Use a good quality olive oil. I like the California Olive Ranch brand.
Lemon Juice- Use freshly squeezed lemon juice.

How I Made my Salad

First, I made the vinaigrette. I just put all the ingredients in a small jar and shook them up.
Then, I put all the greens and everything else in a big bowl.
Finally, I drizzled on some of the dressing and tossed everything together.

If you like watermelon, you need to try this fresh and juicy Watermelon Feta and Pomegranate Salad.
