Watermelon isn’t only for the summer – enjoy it this winter with pistachios and feta!

Watermelon, tomato, pistachio & feta salad

Ingredients: 

Salad:

• 4 cups baby arugula or baby spinach
• 1 cup red or yellow grape tomatoes
• 4 cups cubed watermelon
• 1⁄3 cup diced reduced-fat feta cheese
• 1⁄3 cup toasted chopped pistachios
• 1/4 cup chopped mint or parsley

Dressing:

• 1 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 cup maple syrup

To Make Salad … Place arugula, tomatoes, watermelon, feta, pistachios and mint in a large serving bowl.

To Make Dressing … In a small skillet, add the vinegar and maple syrup, bring to a boil and cook at a rapid boil for 8 to 10 minutes or just until the mixture bubbles on the entire surface and is slightly syrupy. Do not overcook, or the syrup will get too thick.

Makes 4 servings.
