Ingredients
- 3 oz arugula
- 2 oz baby spinach
- 1.5 cups blueberries
- 1.5 cups raspberries
- Sliced watermelon cut into stars with a cookie cutter

- ½ cup chopped walnuts or almonds
- Healthy salad dressing, served on the side
Instructions
- Use a large glass serving bowl and place several watermelon stars along the inside of the bowl (so that the stars are visible from the outside).

- Top the mixed greens with blueberries, raspberries, and remaining watermelon stars. (Tip: you may wish to use a smaller star cookie cutter for the topping stars.)
- Carefully sprinkle the cheese and nuts over the greens to create an attractive salad.
- Serve along with your favorite healthy salad dressing(s).
