I am not pregnant anymore, but my melon craving hasn’t calmed down. I am still obsessed!

If you are a melon fan, you have to make this 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.

  1. 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!

  2. 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!

    1. 5 stars
      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!

  3. Confession? I hate melon. But I am STILLING craving this, that is how good it looks! 🙂

  4. 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!

  5. 5 stars
    This is one of my new favorite salads. My only suggestion would be to use either basil or mint not both.

  6. 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
