Watermelon, Feta, and Arugula Salad



I was watching the Food Network this morning at the gym, and I almost got off of the elliptical and drove straight to the grocery store after seeing this salad.

I don't know about you, but I am a huge fan of feta cheese. So, any recipe that uses feta as an ingredient gets my stamp of approval.

The ingredients to this salad are:

- Chopped up cubes of watermelon
- Crumbles or cubes of feta, probably use one block if you are cutting it into cubes
- Fresh Arugula
- Lemon juice and olive oil dressing, just add a little salt and pepper and it can be sweetened with agave nectar

You can use as much or as little of these ingredients as you want to satisfy your hunger and taste buds!
