I loooooooooove this salad.
This recipe was inspired by a watermelon salad that my friend Shannon and I inhaled at the Fish Bar in Chicago. It was the perfect start to our meal, light and fresh with a ton of flavor. I used cantaloupe instead of watermelon and I am so glad that I did. The watermelon was delicious, but the cantaloupe brought a little more flavor and substance to the salad.
Did I mention how easy this salad is easy to make? Arugula, cantaloupe, feta cheese, olive oil, dash of pepper and salt and balsamic vinegar….not too bad right? The peppery arugula with the salty feta, sweet cantaloupe and tangy balsamic glaze is really an interesting yet flavorful combination. Add grilled chicken and you have the perfect lunch salad.
This salad kind of reminds me of Maui….siiiiigh…..

I’ve never thought of putting cantaloupe in a salad but this combo sounds amazing.
