Arugula and Melon Salad
Makes one side salad for 2-4 people
INGREDIENTS
- 5.5 oz. Arugula (1 bag)

- OPTIONAL 1/4 cup feta, goat, or blue cheese, crumbled
- 1/8 cup (2 tablespoons) lemon or lime juice
- 1/8 cup (2 tablespoons) extra virgin olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS
- Add olive oil, lemon or lime juice, chopped herbs, and salt to large salad bowl. Mix well with whisk or fork.
- Add in arugula and toss.
- Add in melon cubes and optional cheese and toss gently (it’s okay if melon and cheese mostly stays on top.)
- Serve and enjoy!
