This salad is for all my girlies who suffer from bloating and gut issues. We all know how bad it feels to be bloated all the time, and especially in the summer when we're trying to be free in crop tops and shorts. This salad is so refreshing and actually combats bloating š Don't worry too much about the portions of the ingredients, add more watermelon if you want this salad to be primarily a watermelon salad, add more arugula, less mint, etc. Whatever you want!

If you need a little protein in this meal, I recommend a good wild salmon fillet. I do recommend eating this salad the day it's made since the moisture from the watermelon will make the arugula soggy. You're going to be surprised how satisfying this salad is. SO perfect for those hot days you just can't eat a full meal! DM me if you try it! š«¶
