Watermelon and Arugula Salad

By

Amazeballs!
I have made this salad many times, even in the winter. It is so very tasty, beautiful, refreshing....even elegant (yet easy! enough to serve for parties. Though, I often treat myself with just the salad and a glass of wine for dinner - nice!

Directions

Place the arugula and watermelon in a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Pour enough dressing on the arugula to moisten. Toss well and place on 6 salad plates.

With a very sharp knife or a vegetable peeler, shave the Parmesan into large shards and sprinkle them on the arugula and watermelon. Sprinkle with salt and serve.
