This healthy watermelon salad has many nutrients. Watermelon is mostly water, which helps hydrate you and fill you up. This fruit is low in calories and full of vitamins C and A.

Prepare one hour or less before your meal. Cut rind from the watermelon, then chop the fruit into 1-inch chunks. Place chunks in a colander to drain as your chop. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, fresh lime juice, salt, and black pepper to create a dressing. Place watermelon and arugula in a large salad bowl. Pour dressing and chopped mint over the watermelon and toss gently to coat. Pour the crumbled feta into the salad bowl and stir gently to integrate the cheese into the salad. Serve. Variations: Sub mint in this watermelon salad for basil or cilantro. Add cucumber or red onion for extra veggies. Swap the feta for goat cheese. You can use 2 tbsp of Balsamic Vinegar instead of making the dressing.
