(serves 8-10)

Ingredients:

• 1 small watermelon, diced
• 3 c baby arugula
• 1 tbsp mint, finely chopped
• 1 lime, juiced
• ¼ tsp sea salt (plus more to taste)
• ⅛ tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
• ¼ tsp balsamic glaze (plus more for drizzle) 
  
  

Steps:

1. Cube watermelon into bite size pieces.
2. Combine lime juice, apple cider vinegar, salt, garlic powder and balsamic glaze in a bowl and whisk to combine.
3. Add the watermelon to your serving bowl, filled with arugula.
4. Add in half the mint and your vinaigrette and toss.
5. Drizzle with more balsamic glaze and top with a pinch of sea salt.

**Sprinkle with feta if that’s your thing! I found many AIP and Vegan recipes online!

**If you’re bringing this to a party, I recommend bringing all the components separately and make just before serving.

**If needed, chop the watermelon the night before and drain any excess liquid before adding to the salad.

**The salt will draw out a lot of moisture from the watermelon so if you’re serving a large group, make small batches at a time.

(each serves 8-10)
