Ingredients
5-ounce package baby arugula
8 cups seedless watermelon, cut into 3/4-inch cubes

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar glaze
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Spread the baby arugula evenly across a large serving platter to create the base of the salad.
Distribute the watermelon cubes evenly over the arugula layer.
Scatter the crumbled feta cheese over the watermelon.
Drizzle the balsamic vinegar glaze across the entire salad in a light, even pattern.
Finish with a generous grinding of fresh black pepper over the top. Serve immediately.
Comments
Every ingredient is a staple at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, and Walmart year-round, and watermelon is genuinely cheap and local (peak NC season June–August, but available affordably most of the year). The stated ten minutes is honest: cut watermelon and feta, toss with bagged arugula, drizzle. At eight servings from arugula, watermelon, and feta, this runs roughly $1.50–2.00 per person depending on watermelon season and feta choice. The only hesitation is that this is a same-night salad—feta won't marinate well into the next day, arugula wilts, and balsamic glaze can turn soggy in the fridge—so it does not work as a planned leftover.
