This refreshing sweet and savory salad combines sweet watermelon, peppery arugula, creamy goat cheese, and crunchy pumpkin seeds. The flavors are brought together with the drizzle of a store-bought balsamic glaze. Grilling the watermelon caramelizes the melon, giving it a sweet and smoky flavor. The watermelon slices can be cut a day ahead and refrigerated. Serve alongside pasta or grilled pork, chicken, or fish.
Ingredients
  • 4 sprays cooking spray
  • 8 slices fresh watermelon, seedless, sliced into wedge shapes
  • 2 cups arugula, baby variety
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp table salt
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper
  • ½ cup reduced-fat goat cheese, crumbled
  • 8 tsp store-bought balsamic glaze
  • 8 tsp green pumpkin seeds (pepitas)

Instructions
  1. Off heat, coat grill rack or grill pan with nonstick spray. Preheat the gas grill or grill pan to high, or prepare a high fire in a charcoal grill. Grill watermelon slices until lightly charred, 10 to 20 seconds per side.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss arugula and oil and season with salt and black pepper. Arrange 1 watermelon slice each on 4 small plates. Sprinkle each with 2 tbsp cheese. Top each with another watermelon slice, then top with arugula. Dividing equally, drizzle with balsamic glaze and sprinkle with pumpkin seeds.
  3. Serving Size: 2 watermelon slices, 2 tbsp cheese, and 1⁄2 cup arugula!
