Introducing the summer salad mashup you didn’t know you needed — until now. Strawberry Arugula Salad and Watermelon Feta Salad come together with the same Balsamic Vinaigrette for a fresh-and-fruity combination you’re going to love.
Like many salads, this one is extremely flexible. Swap the arugula for baby spinach. Use toasted almonds instead of pine nuts. Skip the cheese for a Whole30-friendly version.
