INGREDIENTS

• 5.5 oz. Arugula (1 bag)

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