Oh my gosh this salad is so good! I have said it before but pesto and watermelon are two of my favorites. I have been eating both so much this summer. This salad has the addition of spinach and a simple balsamic vinaigrette. Eat up while summer is still here. Enjoy!

Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 8 cups spinach
- 3 cups chopped watermelon
- ¼ cup pepitas pesto
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- ½ tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Cut watermelon into cubes. I like to cut in half and then cut in large circles. I then remove the rind and then use a large knife to cut it as if I was cutting a round pizza in squares. You get perfectly square pieces.
- Make pepitas pesto. Follow recipe in link.
- In a large bowl mix spinach, watermelon and pesto.
- In a separate bowl mix the olive oil, balsamic vinegar and sea salt.
- Mix well and pour over salad.
- Mix well and serve. I like to add a little extra balsamic and oil for a prettier presentation
