Arugula, Mint & Watermelon Salad

Last week's CSA had some wonderful 'rucola'. If you have yet to enjoy it here's a refreshing, fast and easy summer salad.

Serves 4-6.
Ingredients
  • 1 head arugula washed and dried
  • 1 small red onion, sliced thin
  • 1 small seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes or into 1-inch spheres with a melon baller
  • 3 ounces feta cheese, cubed (or more if you love it)
  • 3 or 4 sprigs of fresh mint leaves left whole or torn in half
  • champagne vinegar
  • good extra-virgin olive oil
  • salt & pepper

Directions

Whisk 1 part vinegar with 3 parts olive oil, and salt and pepper. Toss with arugula, red onion slices, watermelon, feta and fresh mint leaves. Serve chilled!

Just add some shrimp and you have a wholesome meal.

For the shrimp just place them in a ziplock bag with a clove of garlic, some salt&pepper and a couple of tbs of EVOO. Let sit in refrigerator for 30min and grill.

Buon appetito!
