Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 cups watermelon, cut into bite sized pieces
- 2 cups baby kale
- ½ goat cheese, crumbled

Instructions
- In a serving bowl or platter, lay the baby kale on the bottom. Follow by adding the watermelon chunks.
- Add the red onion, goat cheese crumbles and parsley on top of the watermelon in a visually appealing and even way.
- To make the dressing, stire the olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, and honey in a small bowl until combined. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Drizzle the olive oil mixture over the watermelon salad evenly. You can toss to combine if you would like.
- Optional: Allow the salad to chill in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
Notes
You can use store bought watermelon chunks or you can cut your own. Use a lot of caution when cutting a whole watermelon. This salad is a great way to use up any leftover watermelon.
You can drizzle this salad with a little extra honey and even some Tajin seasoning for a spicy/sweet combo.
If you want to substitute the goat cheese for a different kind, we recommend Feta cheese or burrata.
The baby kale can be substituted for your favorite greens, we would use baby spinach or a spring mix that includes arugula.
