Watermelon Feta Salad

Aug 4, 2026 | Sunny Dijon

Summer on a plate. This is the salad I make when it's too hot to turn on the stove — cold, juicy watermelon, peppery arugula, salty feta, and roasted pistachios, all pulled together with a Sunny Dijon champagne vinaigrette you shake up in seconds.

Ingredients

For the salad

  • 5 cups watermelon, cubed
  • 2 cups arugula
  • 1/4 small red onion, very thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta
  • 1/3 cup roasted pistachios, roughly chopped

For the vinaigrette

  • 1 stick pack After Noon Foods Sunny Dijon
  • 5 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp champagne vinegar

Directions

1. In The Shaker, shake together the Sunny Dijon stick pack, olive oil, and champagne vinegar until well combined.

2. Add the watermelon, red onion, arugula, feta, and roasted pistachios to a large serving bowl.

3. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.

4. Finish with an extra sprinkle of feta, pistachios, and a crack of fresh black pepper, if desired.

5. Serve immediately while the watermelon is cold and the arugula is crisp.

Tip: Chill the watermelon beforehand for the freshest, most refreshing summer salad.
