Grab this tasty watermelon salad with arugula for a spring or summer salad! Tastes almost like being at the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival!
I love visiting Walt Disney Resort during Epcot’s International Flower and Garden Festival in spring.
When I can’t be there in person, I love to make one of my favorite EPCOT copycat recipes right here at home.
During the International Flower and Garden Festival, additional food carts are added all over the park to showcase new and exciting foods.
It was there that I had watermelon arugula salad for the first time and I was forever changed.

Epcot Watermelon Arugula Salad Ingredients
There is nothing like watermelon in the spring/summer. Strawberries are my other salad favorite but man, watermelon is GOOD.
In fact, it’s one of my very favorite summer fruits and this salad seriously takes it to the next level.
For this salad, you will need:
- Watermelon
- Arugula
- Feta Cheese
- Pickled onions (I used this recipe)
- Balsamic glaze
- Salt and pepper
Watermelon salad is something I always look for any time I am at Epcot in the spring.
If you are planning a quick trip to Walt Disney World during the festival, you may find it located at the Florida booth (menu subject to change).
Y’all, it is that good and honestly, I don’t know why it took me so long to try and make it at home.
Don’t skip the pickled onions! They make all the difference.
And the balsamic glaze adds a tangy sweetness that really sets this salad apart. I use it on so many things now!
I made it, I ate it, and I’m going to make it again.
Watermelon Arugula salad is a great way to feel decadent on a hot day without all the calories.
I hope you love it as much as I do!

Hi Traci,
I didn't make the glaze. I used a store-bought version from the grocery store. Very tasty!
