Watermelon goat cheese towers with mint and arugula
This is hands-down one of my favorite salads for summertime (not to mention incredibly easy to make!)
At first when I tried it last summer I was skeptical - watermelon and cheese? Watermelon and BALSAMIC? Yes. The sweetness of the watermelon pairs perfectly with the tanginess in the cheese and the bitterness of the arugula.
I added mint this time because I'm currently having a slight mint obsession and I can't get enough of the stuff.
The original recipe from Women's Health calls for goat cheese, but I decided to make one tower with feta and do a taste-test. The goat cheese won hands down.
I think it tastes good either way, so if you are looking for a "healthier" cheese, go with the feta. I paired it with some almond-crusted tilapia for the perfect summer week-night dinner (prepped in my new kitchen!)
