Nothing says "summer" like a good, old-fashioned cookout, and nothing says "happier summer" like a healthier and more flavorful twist on this American classic!

This is a light a refreshing salad, mixing the juicy sweetness of watermelon with the crisp peppery-ness of the arugula and warmth of the walnuts. For an added dimension, you may grill the watermelon prior to cutting it.

This is one of my favorite recipes to prepare because it's so easy, delicious and relatively healthy! While guacamole is not very forgiving of being made too far in advance, there are ways to naturally preserve its freshness and delay the effects of oxidation on the avocado (see my note at the end of the recipe).
