Ingredients

Watermelon Feta Salad

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350ºF. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay the 6 slices of prosciutto in an even layer. Bake for 20-25 minutes until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, make the balsamic dressing by whisking together the 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon monk fruit and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt.
- Add the baby arugula on top of the salad dressing and toss to combine and coat all the leaves.
- Add in the 1 cup watermelon, crumble in the crispy prosciutto, add in the crumbled feta and sliced onion. Toss to combine.
- Transfer to 2 dinner plates, or 4 starter salad plates. Best if enjoyed immediately.
Notes
Watermelon: Even though watermelon is higher in carb, it's still just fine to enjoy in smaller quantities!
Vinegar: I love using balsamic vinegar, but you could easily swap red wine vinegar, white wine vinegar, champagne vinegar, apple cider vinegar, etc.
Cheese: I love this with feta. You could also use goat cheese, blue cheese, gorgonzola, etc.
Dairy Free: You can leave out the cheese to make this dairy free.
Whole30: You could leave out the cheese and monk fruit sweetener and this would be Whole30.
Greens: I love this with arugula. It would also work with baby spinach, baby kale or baby greens. Or even butter lettuce or romaine!
