Arugula and Mustard Green Salad with Watermelon Dressing Recipe

Servings: 1
Prep time: 15 minutes
Total time: 12 hours

Ingredients

for the watermelon dressing:
2 cups|473 ml white vinegar
4 ounces|111 grams granulated sugar
1 green garlic, roughly chopped
14 ounces|400 grams diced watermelon

for serving:
1 ½ cups arugula
1 ½ cups mustard greens
4 plums, thinly sliced (seed removed)
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
edible flowers, to garnish

Directions

  1. Make the watermelon dressing: In a small saucepan, heat the vinegar, sugar, and green garlic over high. Cook, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved, about 3 minutes.
  2. Place the watermelon in a large bowl and pour the vinegar and garlic liquid over the top. Purée, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
  3. To serve: In a large bowl, toss the arugula, mustard greens, and plums together with some of the watermelon dressing, salt, and pepper. Gently massage the plums to release some of their juices (this helps offset some of the sweetness of the dressing). Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with edible flowers.
