How to make a watermelon arugula salad

This is one of the easiest salads to make.

All you have to do is place the arugula on a large plate (or in a large bowl), followed by the watermelon. In a separate bowl, mix the freshly squeezed lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well and pour on top of the watermelon and arugula.

Gently toss the salad and serve with fresh mint leaves!

How should I serve this watermelon arugula salad?

When I have family or friends over and I make this, I typically serve this salad deconstructed.

I’ll make the olive oil dressing but other than that I leave the watermelon, mint, arugula, and any other toppings separate for people to assemble themselves!

Am I able to store leftovers?

I personally wouldn’t recommend it. The arugula will get very soggy and begin to wilt after just a few hours!
