Watermelon Arugula Salad

A refreshing summer salad, perfect alongside some grilled veggie burgers and potato wedges. The combination of balsamic with sweet watermelon, arugula, avocado and red onions is to die for. It feels like a such a fancy salad, though it’s easy to throw together. It’s sure to impress! If you don’t care for arugula, you can substitute baby spinach, baby kale or chopped romaine. If you have access to vegan feta cheese (such as Violife brand), you can substitute it for avocado. For more filling power, add in some drained and rinsed chickpeas.

The best balsamic vinegar

The balsamic vinegar brand I use is Napa Vally Naturals Grand Reserve; it’s pricey but it lasts me a long time. It’s thick and rich, not runny like other vinegars, and it is sweeter so it works great as a salad dressing all on it’s own. If you can’t find a high quality balsamic vinegar, any balsamic salad dressing will do.
