Easy
This is one of my favorite summer salads because it comes together in just twenty minutes with no cooking required. The combination of sweet watermelon, peppery arugula, and creamy feta creates such a refreshing balance, especially on hot days. Baby spinach is packed with iron and other nutrients, making this salad as nourishing as it is delicious. The best part is that most of these ingredients are affordable and easy to find at any grocery store, so you can make it whenever the craving strikes. It's simple, elegant, and absolutely perfect for lunch or as a light side dish at dinner.

My go to drink for summer gatherings is this refreshing Beergarita, and let me tell you, it's a total crowd pleaser.
