Instructions

Let's make the Citrus Herb Salad Dressing/Vinaigrette

Add all the salad dressing ingredients into a large enough measuring cup or salad bottle. Whisk with a fork or use an actual whisk. Whisk until emulsified (creamy looking). Set aside.
Note: This batch of dressing makes about 16 tablespoons. I serve each salad portion with 2 tablespoons. Leftovers store for up to a week.

Let's make the salad.

Add the arugula to a large salad mixing bowl.
Add in the wild tomatoes, sliced red onions, watermelon chunks and mozzarella balls. Sprinkle in the mint leaves.
Portion out the salad into four salad serving bowls. Spoon/drizzle 1 to 2 tablesoons citrus herd dressing over the salad. Serve and enjoy!
Note: Left over dressing stores for up to 1 week in refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before serving if desired.
