Watermelon and Radish Salad with Mint Vinaigrette
We love the peppery bite of arugula against the sweet juiciness of watermelon. If you can’t find pretty watermelon radishes (so named for their familiar rings of green, white and pink) just substitute a handful of regular red radishes. A sprinkle of feta would also make a nice addition.
This refreshing salad pairs well with grilled chicken, pork chops or sausages, especially Applegate Organics® Fire Roasted Red Pepper Sausage or Applegate Organics® Spinach & Feta Sausage.
