At first I had plans to include some infant arugula into the dish, tragically when I went to the supermarket they were hard and fast, so I simply needed to manage without it!
This plate of mixed greens truly changes the watermelon into an exquisite dish that felt shockingly generous! Marinating the watermelon includes unobtrusive traces of lemon, nectar and balsamic to the freshness of the watermelon, and matching it with the feta, mint, bacon and red onion makes it considerably more appetizing. Beating it all of with a shower of balsamic vinegar gives it a touch of required sharpness and a pleasant tang!
This exquisite watermelon plate of mixed greens is an ideal summer hors d'oeuvre and makes certain to dazzle your visitors!
