Fruit and Arugula Salad with Fig Vinaigrette

Fruit and Arugula Salad with Fig Vinaigrette

There’s only one thing better than the juicy watermelon and peaches in this salad—the outstanding fig vinaigrette. Jammy and sweet with a subtle savory essence, fig preserves provide a flavor foil for tart vinegar and act as an excellent thickener for this dressing, which helps it cling to all the ingredients in this salad. Peppery arugula adds the perfect spicy bite that stands up to the sweet summer fruit. Make a double batch of the vinaigrette and use it to marinate chicken or brush over salmon before grilling.

Serves 6 (serving size: about 1 1/2 cups)

Ingredients

4 cups cubed watermelon
3 cups fresh peach wedges
4 cups baby arugula (4 oz.)
2 tablespoons fig preserves
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
