Arugula, Watermelon and Feta salad

Arugula, watermelon and feta is a classic salad combination. The peppery arugula blends very well with the sweet watermelon and the salty feta. I had this salad in my mind for a long time but was not getting my hands on a bunch of Arugula. Recently a friend, who grows it in her house brought me some fresh leaves from her garden and I took no time in deciding where am I going to use it. The balsamic vinaigrette that I posted the other day was the perfect dressing for the salad. Here is how to assemble the salad.

All you need is

Arugula \ Rocket leaves - 3-4 cups
Watermelon - 1 kg watermelon ( peeled, de seeded and cut into small pieces )
Feta cheese - 100 g
Balsamic vinaigrette - 3-4 tbsp ( Recipe is here )

Method of preparation

Wash the arugula leaves and wrap them in a cotton cloth for 5 minutes to get rid of excess water on the leaves.
Add the leaves in the salad bowl.
Top with watermelon pieces.
Top the salad with crumbled feta cheese.
Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette on top.
Serve immediately.

Watermelon Milk shake

Nowadays I am addicted to this amazing fruit. I can have it any time of the day, in any form and in any season. I remember as a kid, always when in season, my dad used to buy this and cut into big slices. We used to enjoy this during hot summer weather.

Watermelon and milk is a perfect combination. I used to make a variety of juices and desserts out of watermelon like the watermelon mint coolers, watermelon and pomegranate mocktail, watermelon sorbet, watermelon popsicles and so on… Just that with sorbet and popsicles, I didn’t get a chance to take photos as they would finish off fast :-)

In this milk shake, I have added watermelon with seeds. Nothing special.. just the laziness to de-seed..:-) I blended everything together and strained at last. The milkshake came out clean. This is simple delicious and super easy to make. Just try it out….

Ingredients:

Watermelon (cubed)- 2 Cups
Sugar- 2 tbsps
Cooled Milk- 1 Cup
Vanilla Extract- ½ tsp (optional)

Method:

Blend all the ingredients in a hand mixer till smooth. When it is done sieve through a strainer and enjoy an amazing drink.

Watermelon Mint coolers- A cool and refreshing drink

The temperature is soaring in Bangalore and in this hot and dry weather, I thought a juice recipe would be an ideal post. This is a perfect thirst quencher which flushes out the toxins from our body.

I have been thinking of buying a watermelon since quite a few days since I like eating it at leisure and I also like the juice. After a long wait, I finally bought a watermelon and ate almost half of it within 2 days :-) Then I thought of making juice with whatever was remaining.

While making the juice, I added mint leaves to the watermelon pieces to get a mint flavor in the juice. Juices in one way keeps your body hydrated and they provide fluids as well as all the nutrients of the fruits.
Here I have added mint. We can also add ginger, lime and so on. I have removed the seeds from watermelon, so there is no need of straining. If you are making this in a hurry, just blend the watermelon pieces and strain.

Ingredients:

Watermelon (Chopped)- 2cups
Mint leaves- handful
Sugar- 2tbsp (optional)

Method:

Blend the watermelon pieces, mint leaves and sugar together. If the watermelon is too sweet, then no need of adding sugar.
Serve with ice cubes.
