perfect summer salad

My sister made this delicious watermelon salad last night and to us, it is the perfect summer salad to accompany just about any meal. 

Two Handfuls baby arugula, washed and spun dry
One small, seedless watermelon, cut into cubes
Parmesan cheese, shaved with a vegetable peeler

For the dressing:
Juice of one or two lemons
1/3 cup olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
whisk together and pour over salad to moisten and serve immediately.

    So simple and refreshing. I'm always hesitant to put fruit in salads...but this sounds so good, I may have to give it a try.

    Hello Annie

    Your posting this recipe is most timely. We have company tomorrow night and this is the perfect salad as one of our guests, dislikes anything green and she will love the cheese and watermelon.

    Many thanks
    Helen
