Watermelon Arugula Salad

This light and refreshing salad comes together with just a few ingredients.

This salad comes together with some simple ingredients. Its light, refreshing and accompanies any cuisine. The fresh herbs pair well with the lemon and shallots. I love this salad on a hot summer day or as an appetizer for an outdoor party.

If you are vegan you can substitute the feta for a vegan version of feta and the honey for agave syrup. You can omit the feta all together, but I do like the saltiness it brings in contrast to the sweet watermelon.
