Ingredients

For salad

3 cups cubed seedless watermelon
3 peaches, cut into 1/2-inch segments
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon minced chives
1/3 cup crumbled feta
3 cups baby arugula

For dressing

1 tablespoon minced jalapenos
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Juice of 1 lime
1/4 cup olive oil

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the watermelon, peaches, scallions, chives and feta.
For the dressing, whisk together the jalapeños, garlic, salt, pepper, lime juice and olive oil in a small bowl.
Drizzle half the dressing into the salad.
Stir in the arugula. Then add your desired amount of the remaining dressing.

Notes

For the arugula, you can use baby spinach or a combination of both.

Store the salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 2 days. Stir in fresh arugula when you are going to eat it.

If you’re meal planning, wait to toss the arugula and dressing into the salad until you are about to serve it. Store the dressing in a separate container in the fridge.

Optional Additions

Cucumbers, sliced or diced Persian cucumbers or English cucumbers
Avocados, sliced or diced
