Watermelon arugula salad is about contrast that works. Sweet, juicy watermelon meets peppery greens, creating a balance that feels refreshing rather than heavy. It’s the kind of dish that shows up when the weather warms and meals start to feel lighter and more instinctive.
This salad doesn’t ask for much. Good watermelon, fresh arugula, and a light dressing are enough to make something memorable. It’s food that cools you down, wakes up your palate, and reminds you that vegetables and fruit often shine brightest when they’re barely touched.
In the Let’s Veg lifestyle, watermelon arugula salad represents seasonality and ease. It’s about listening to what the body wants hydration, freshness, and color and responding with simple, whole ingredients that feel good to eat.
