That’s why we here at Press Pass have the skinny on their favorite summer salad for you! Check it out and let us know what you think!

Sweet Summer Watermelon Salad from the Tone It Up Girls:

Makes 4 servings

• 2 cups of watermelon, cubed
• 1/4 cup of thinly sliced red-onionunnamed-3
• 1 cucumber, sliced & halved
• 2 cups of arugula
• Bunch of fresh mint, julienned
• 1/4 cup of feta cheese or crumbled tofu
• 3/4 cup of high quality balsamic vinegar

Directions: Start by heating the vinegar in a pan over medium heat for 6 to 7 minutes, or until it reduces to a thick, syrup-like consistency. When making reductions, it’s always best to use a shallow pan and to keep it uncovered. Once desired thickness has been reached, remove from heat and allow to cool. Meanwhile, add all remaining ingredients together in a bowl and you’re set! Drizzle with room temperature reduction immediately before serving.

Don’t live in LA, NYC or London? No worries we sat down with the top Priv stylists to bring you a fun and do-able at home hair style so you and your friends can hit the town this summer in style.
