Watermelon and Arugula Salad with Mint

What’s summer without  a hint of mint?
–Laura Sears

Ingredients
8 cups watermelon, cubed
8 ounces crumbled feta
3 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped
10 ounces arugula
4 limes, 2 zested and 4 juiced
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

Directions:
1. Cube the watermelon and toss it in a bowl with the juice and zest of 2 limes. You can allow this to marinate for several hours or for as long as it takes you to assemble everything else. In another bowl toss the arugula with the feta and mint.
2. In a mason jar, combine the juice of the other 2 limes, their zest, vinegar, olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
3. Right before serving top the greens with the watermelon, then add the dressing. Toss well and serve immediately
