Instructions for making Grilled Apricot, Watermelon & Arugula CBD Summer Salad:  

  1. Preheat a grill pan over medium heat. 

  2. Brush the rinsed and sliced apricots lightly with olive oil and place them on a grill pan. 

  3. Cook for 1–2 per side just enough to caramelize the apricots. Remove from heat and set aside. 

  4. Place the watermelon, mint and onion in a bowl and set aside as well. 

  5. Place your CBD RSO oil syringe in a cup of hot water for about 5-10 minutes. This will help the RSO become less solid and flow much more easily when dispensing it from the syringe. 

  6. Once warmed, combine your olive oil with 0.25mL of CBD RSO and stir thoroughly to combine. 

  7. For the vinegar, whisk together balsamic vinegar, infused-olive oil, and honey. Mix until well combined and season with salt and pepper. 

  8. Grab a salad bowl and add the arugula, mint, and red onion. Pour the desired amount of dressing to the bowl and toss well. You can use a tablespoon to measure out the dressing. 

  9. Transfer the salad to plates and top with grilled apricots, cubed watermelon, and a sprinkle of feta cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 

And voila! You’ve just made a delicious, easy and fun CBD-infused edible, perfect for your next backyard BBQ or potluck dinner.

Storing your Grilled Apricot, Watermelon & Arugula CBD Summer Salad: 

When you’re done you can cover the bowl with plastic wrap or Tupperware with a lid and refrigerate.  

 

Salads generally last 3-5 days in the refrigerator when stored properly.  

 

For optimal freshness, keep ingredients separate until ready to assemble, use airtight containers, and remove any plastic from packaged greens.
