Ingredients
  

  • 200 grams Watermelon cubes
  • 30 grams Pine Nuts
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tsp Lemon Juice
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 15 grams Fresh Basil
  • 50 grams Fresh rocket/arugula
  • 4 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
  • 2 tbsp Honey
  • 30 grams Feta Cheese

Instructions
 

  • Take your pine nuts and dry roast them in a pan till they are nice and brown. Then, cut your watermelon into bite-sized cubes. Set them aside.
  • Add some olive oil to a small bowl, with a squeeze of lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well, and this will be your dressing.
  • Get some fresh basil leaves, roll them together like a cigar and slice it up. After that, take the arugula and roughly tear the leaves. Or, you can give it a rough chop.
  • Take a pan and put it on the stove. Add balsamic vinegar and honey to sweeten. Mix it and then keep cooking till it gets reduced to a sticky consistency. This syrup will be your balsamic reduction. Once done, set it aside to cool.
  • Now, it’s time to make the salad. In a big bowl, add in your watermelon cubes with the lettuce and basil leaves. Then, drop in your roasted pine nuts and then put in the dressing. Give it all a good mix!
  • After that, crumble in some feta cheese using your hands. You can then toss everything together with your fingers. Serve it in a bowl and drizzle on that balsamic glaze.
  • Enjoy a bowl of this delicious salad!
