Watermelon Summer Salad



 WATERMELON ARUGULA SUMMER SALAD

Made this awesome salad last night to go along with Ryan's BBQ smoked chickens and potato salad. It was great because it sort of elevated the dinner from like super casual BBQ to a nice lil summer dindin. Highly recommend it~!

 Ingredients
  • 1/4 seedless watermelon, chopped into 1″ cubes
  • 8 cups baby arugula
  • 1/3 cup marcona almonds, halved or roughly chopped
  • good wedge of Parmigiano-Reggiano
  • aged balsamic vinegar – the thicker & more syrupy the better
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • coarse sea salt (use Maldon if you can get it)
Directions
Toss the watermelon, arugula and almonds in a large bowl. With a vegetable peeler, shave big pieces of parmegiano-reggiano over the top. Drizzle with the balsamic and olive oil, and sprinkle generously with sea salt.
