Additional recipe notes
You only need a few ingredients for this salad, so get the freshest and best quality you can. Add the dressing an hour or two before serving so that the flavors meld but the arugula doesn’t wilt. You can cut the watermelon into cubes or use a melon baller if you prefer.
Storage & reheating safety
For cooked, perishable leftovers, refrigerate within 2 hours (1 hour above 90°F), using shallow containers for prompt cooling. Keep the refrigerator at 40°F or below, use refrigerated leftovers within 3–4 days, and reheat hot leftovers to 165°F, checked with a food thermometer. Follow any shorter package limit.
