Description
A refreshing watermelon salad with arugula and red onions, a salty and sharp blue cheese, topped with balsamic vinaigrette. Sweet, tangy, and a bit funky; this salad checks all the right boxes.

Notes
Blue Cheese: Buy a whole block and crumble yourself. I find the quality of the cheese is better than the one that comes pre-crumbled.
