Watermelon Arugula Goat Cheese Salad
Summer is *almost* over. Although the weather here in Boston has been screaming fall this week… This makes me very sad. I do feel like I had a great summer, and I do love fall, but I’m not ready to think about what that means is coming next. Winter. Blech. Last winter was brutal, and I’m just not ready for it. Hubby, on the other hand, can’t wait to bust out his snowboard…
As I’m clinging to these last few days and hours of summer, I’ve been eating as much summer produce as possible. This salad is a simple way to highlight some delicious watermelon. The peppery arugula and salty goat cheese provide a great contrast to the sweet juicy watermelon.
I didn’t actually follow a recipe here, I just threw things together.

Your strawberries are beautiful! I like to add a little salt to my chocolate…it really brings out the flavor! There are perfect for V-day 🙂 I made your crustless quiche last night…to die for!! Thanks for the recipe.
Very pretty. I kind of like them on a stick! It would be a fun way to serve them.
Just lovely. I want them on a stick too! Anything on a stick is better!
Beautiful! Chocolate covered strawberries are a favorite of mine. What a great idea putting them upright in foam so they don’t grow feet! I’m going to try that the next time I make them. 🙂
What a great idea! Makes them absolutely perfect!
These strawberries are beautiful! What a great idea to put a stick in them for display.
I love chocolate covered strawberries. The little white chocolate swirl makes them really fun 🙂
