I am hoping this salad will make an appearance. I first tried a watermelon, feta, arugula salad when we were on vacation in Disney. It was amazing with a bit of sweet and a bit of salty.
This salad is perfect for picnics or any gathering because you can make it ahead of time. arugula is a bit bitter. The watermelon pieces help with the bitterness but so does the salad dressing. I like to dress the salad about an hour before serving. This lets the flavors soak into the watermelon, feta and wilts the arugula just a bit cutting the bitterness.
