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!

You can find the Pepita Pesto recipe here.

Spinach Watermelon Pesto Salad
Author: Katie at Wholelovelylife.com
Recipe type: Salad
Prep time:  15 mins
Total time:  15 mins
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
  1. 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.
  2. Make pepitas pesto. Follow recipe in link.
  3. In a large bowl mix spinach, watermelon and pesto.
  4. In a separate bowl mix the olive oil, balsamic vinegar and sea salt.
  5. Mix well and pour over salad.
  6. Mix well and serve. I like to add a little extra balsamic and oil for a prettier presentation
