Notes
TIPS:– Use light greens only for this salad, like arugula (or maybe watercress too) because you don’t want it to overpower the melons in this salad- If you are taking this to an outdoor event, don’t add the pear salad dressing until you are ready to serve it– Use small mozzarella balls in this salad recipe that are nearly the same size as the watermelon itself. This way, the taste will be more even– Refrigerate the salad after you assemble it. It will stay crispy and the greens will remain green– If you added the pear dressing before serving, be sure to use it up within 24 hours
