Summer break is in full swing and I am always seeking a fresh salad that is in alignment with my keto journey but also makes my taste buds happy. My favorite ingredient by far in this months recipe is the arugula from Local Appetite Growers; local, fresh and super healthy and super good. By adding watermelon, I get to enjoy something sweet but nutritional all at the same time. This salad is simple, seasonal and fantastic.
Enjoy!
