Watermelon Arugula Salad

Watermelon Arugula Salad

Sometimes you can’t go wrong with “Fruit Salad… yummy, yummy…” This recipe is not exactly a fruit salad, but we all know that you almost can not have summer with fresh melon. Especially not watermelon! When I was young I used to get the worst migraines from watermelon… which I later found out was due to the stage of ripening for plant foods causing an increased release of Tyramine.

But, never the less I am making up for lost time during my childhood years and bringing one of my summer refreshing salads which is Arugula Watermelon Salad. There is just something about arugula and fruit that just works every time and these fresh ingredients and flavors are no different. Here is another top 8 free sophisticated salad that won’t make your dinner table a bore.

Ingredients:

  • Watermelon
  • Baby Arugala
  • Cucumber

  • Lemon Juice
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Agave Nectar
