Watermelon Arugula Salad

Who doesn't love a light summery salad this time of year?  The combination will sound gross but it blends beautifully!  It is really easy to make and adjust to your own tastes.  I prefer the salad to not be too overloaded with greens but many may want more arugula (or even watercress). I love this when it is a bit of everything in every bite with nothing over powering another.

In a large bowl, mix together:

  • 3 cups of arugula
  • 15 leaves of mint (chiffonade)
  • 3 shallot cloves (chopped)
  • 5 leaves of fresh basil (chiffonade)
