Flickr Find: Arugula Salad with Watermelon and Feta

While we were browsing photos of watermelons this morning, we came across this beautiful salad — a nice blend of sweet watermelon with spicy arugula.

Click below for the full ingredients list...

Flickr member chotda says this salad is made with arugula, watermelon, and feta, which we can see, and a red onion-raspberry vinaigrette, which we weren't expecting. It sounds delicious, though — we love fruit and onions together.

We've been eating a lot of salads with strawberries on top lately, but this is a new twist we're eager to try.

Anyone else have a favorite salad with watermelon?

I make a similar salad of cubed watermelon, crumbled goat cheese (the recipe may actually have called for feta, but I don't remember - I always sub goat cheese because I don't care for feta), and basil chiffonade. I usually just season it with a few squirts from a fresh lime, sea salt and pepper. I like the watermelon balls in the picture - I'll have to give that a try instead of cubes next time! Unfortunately I can't do the vinagerette because my hubby hates red onions...

I've been making a regular and yellow watermelon salad lately with suave de cabra goat cheese, mint, gaeta olives, pickled red onion, fried almonds, 25 yr. sherry vinegar and extra virgin olive oil:

The first thing I tasted on my last visit to NYC was a watermelon and arugula salad believe it or not!
