You will need:

4-5 cups baby arugula

1 cup mixed berries

1 cup diced fresh watermelon

¼ cup Feta Cheese

1 cup sliced English cucumber

Candied pecans (optional)

2 TB Extra Virgin Olive Oil

2 tsp fresh squeezed lime juice

½ tsp kosher salt

2 tsp honey

¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper

Directions for Best Arugula Salad:

First slice the cucumber.

Now slice the strawberries.

Next dice the watermelon.

In a small bowl, whisk together the Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO), lime juice, honey, salt & pepper.

Toss the salad with the dressing and top with the feta cheese and pecans. (I forgot to add the pecans, and I had them too!) I really love the addition of the candied pecans because it gives a nice crunch. Walnuts or pistachios would work really well too! It’s the perfect fast lunch when you want something light and not heavy to weigh you down on a hot day.

This is such a light and refreshing salad, perfect for the summer! This makes a great side dish for your favorite pasta. Or you can just simply add some grilled chicken or salmon to the salad and make it a healthy meal. We just love this salad and have put this on repeat at our house!
