After having watermelon and feta salads at restaurants, Ina said she was never all that impressed by the combination. So, naturally, she went home and started tweaking, which resulted in her Watermelon & Arugula Salad.
Rather than just tossing diced watermelon and feta together, she adds peppery arugula, fresh lemon juice to wake everything up, and shaved Parmesan instead of feta, which makes it feel like a much more Ina-y salad.
It’s sweet, salty, peppery, and exactly the kind of thing I want next to anything grilled.
But don’t worry if you’re a feta fanatic. She also has a feta version she shared on her show.
