If you haven’t tried watermelon in a salad, you’ve got to try it now! Watermelon is absolutely amazing all on it’s own but just think about adding it to your salad! This Watermelon, Arugula & Parmesan Salad Recipe is my go-to for when I want something refreshing, cool and tasty. It has minimal ingredients with flavors that complement each other really well. You can also add a protein like chicken or steak for a full delicious meal. 

Watermelon, Arugula & Parmesan Salad

This is one of my absolute favorite salad recipes to create because it is so simple yet it packs a punch with flavor. I love that it is a unique salad that has restaurant quality taste. You can make this salad with the 3 main ingredients as a side dish or add in avocado and chicken to create a main meal. The dressing can be made with ingredients you probably already have at home. It includes olive oil, orange juice, dijon mustard and salt & pepper to taste. You can substitute the OJ for lime or lemon juice too! 

You really want to get the large Parmesan flakes for optimal flavor! The recipe I used for this minimal ingredient, high flavor salad is below:

I typically make this salad for my weekday lunches but it’s also a great dinner for the whole family. The kids don’t always eat too much arugula but they can build their own plate with the remaining ingredients.
