A refreshing watermelon salad is perfect for hot summer days. Here, our favorite variations, from a classic watermelon-arugula salad to a watermelon and charred-tomato salad.
Grilled Cobia Salad with Corn and Watermelon
Chef Kevin Willmann of Farmhaus in St. Louis likes to grill cobia, a sweet, flaky whitefish, for this bright, refreshing salad.
Grilled Watermelon with Yogurt
This modern take on the traditional Greek salad is a combination of watermelon and feta cheese, and is topped with creamy yogurt.
Watermelon and Arugula Salad with Walnuts
“In my hometown of Orosei, bitter greens like arugula and dandelion grow alongside watermelons, so this salad is a natural combination for me,” says chef Efisio Farris. The recipe is a fabulous blend of juicy (watermelon) and crunchy (red onions and walnuts). For anyone who thinks raspberry vinegar went out with the '90s, this fruity vinaigrette will be a revelation.
Marinated Watermelon with Whipped Feta
Let watermelon sit in a savory marinade of shallots, ginger, and champagne vinegar for 30 minutes to draw out the juices from the fruit and intensify its flavor.
