Watermelon Arugula Feta Salad

I love the contrast in this salad: peppery arugula, sweet watermelon, salty feta and a bright lemon dressing. It is simple enough for lunch but beautiful enough to serve alongside dinner when friends are over.

Chill the watermelon before assembling the salad for the most refreshing result.
