Melon Arugula Salad with Honey Lime Dressing-this refreshing summer salad is great for lunch or dinner!
I am not pregnant anymore, but my melon craving hasn’t calmed down. I am still obsessed! I love eating it plain, but I also love it in this Melon Arugula Salad with Honey Lime Dressing. I don’t mess around either, I use three kinds of melon: watermelon, honeydew, and cantaloupe. If you are a melon fan, you have to make this salad.
We haven’t done much cooking since we had our baby, but I did make this salad for lunch yesterday because I was craving a fresh and healthy salad!
The baby was sleeping which meant the clock was ticking. I had to make a quick and easy lunch because you never know when a newborn is going to need you. I started with a bed of arugula and added my trio of colorful melons.
I also added feta cheese and a simple honey lime dressing. My salad was almost too pretty to eat. Almost. I was starving so I devoured my beautiful salad!
This Melon Arugula Salad with Honey Lime Dressing is a must make for summer. It is light, refreshing, and oh so tasty! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

This salad looks so fresh and beautiful! I am in awe that you are still blogging right after having a baby. I would not be as skilled!
I also want to put that honey lime dressing on everything!
We are always looking for different ways to use all our lettuce from the garden. This looks fantastic! I love the melons on top and am looking forward to trying that honey lime dressing!
I’m allergic to honeydew and cantaloupe melon. I’ve made this recipe several times using only watermelon and it is delicious. I’ve taken it to pot lucks and everyone is always surprised with how fresh and delicious it is. Making it again tomorrow for a BBQ at my place. Thanks for this delicious recipe, I’ll make many more times I’m sure. ♥️ It’s SO GOOD!
Confession? I hate melon. But I am STILLING craving this, that is how good it looks! 🙂
STILL. eeks.
Gorgeous salad Maria! Love all of these flavors!!!
The peppery arugula and sweet melon combo sounds fabulous!
Lovely! I adore melon and arugula!
This is so pretty!!!
Totally loving the melon and spicy arugula combo and don’t even get me started on that dressing!
Tried and true flavor combo. Gorgeous salad, Maria!
I love this summer salad – all those great flavors in one!
what a lovely salad Maria!
This looks amazing!!
I love melon salads! This looks so pretty and seriously refreshing!
I love how the dressing seems to pull it all in. And I have 12 week old so I understand about not having time to cook or when you do you are not sure when you might get interrupted!
Love this idea! This is just the thing to complete my meal tomorrow….thanks!
Lovely salad. I bet the sweet melon with the peppery arugula is awesome!
So refreshing. This recipe seems very good. Thanks you very much.
This is one of my new favorite salads. My only suggestion would be to use either basil or mint not both.
How much arugula would I need to serve 25 people using this recipe?
It for a baby shower so the red watermelon and green arugula colors are perfect.
Thank you
