Arugula, Watermelon + Feta Salad

I went out to lunch with my friend and we really feasted; we indulged with empanadas, Yuca fries, and rum cake at this amazing Cuban restaurant, Zafra, in New Haven.  When it was dinner time, I was feeling a little guilt for my lunch-feast so I wanted a light meal that was easy to throw together.  Since the weather has been so nice the last few days (in the 70s), I was really craving fruit.  I had some left-over watermelon and made this delicious salad that was the perfect summer-time salad.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups Arugula
• Watermelon (about 1/4 cut into cubes)
• 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbles
• 1-2 fresh mint leaves chopped
• 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds

Directions:  Wash and dry arugula.  Chop watermelon into small cubes.  Toss salad with watermelon, feta, chopped mint leaves. Top with desired toppings such as sunflower seeds and/or slivered almonds.  I topped a balsamic glaze that I found at Trader Joe's and it was the perfect sweet compliment to this salad.

Ever After,

Jamie
