This Watermelon & Basil Vinaigrette is sweet, herby, refreshing, and the kind of dressing that makes you want to bottle it up and pour it on everything in your fridge. It’s the perfect “I want to feel good but still eat something wildly delicious” kind of salad. Think shaved fennel bringing that cool, crisp snap, juicy pops of pomegranate, toasty pistachios for a sweet, savoury crunch and fresh mint that wakes everything up like a cool swim on a hot summers day.

Ingredients

1 head Crispy green leaf lettuce, roughly chopped
1 lg handful of Arugula
1/2 bulb fresh fennel, shaved
1/4 English cucumber, thinly sliced
1/3 cup Pomegranate seeds
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup crumbled feta
1/3 cup “Wonderful” honey roasted pistachios (or plain salted)
2 tbsp roughly chopped fresh mint
2 tbsp roughly chopped fresh parsley

For The Dressing

2 tbsp Watermelon Rose Balsamic
2 tbsp Basil Infused Olive Oil
1 tsp Lime juice
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Prepare all salad ingredients and add to a large bowl. *I find a mandoline on the thinnest setting works best for shaving the Fennell, Cucumber and Red Onion - or just slice SUPER thin.
Add the dressing ingredients to a small jar and shake to combine. Drizzle over the salad ingredients in the large bowl, and toss well together before serving.
