Melon, Cucumber And Arugula Salad

(13)
"Checkmate! This summer melon and heirloom tomato salad was the first course in the lunch I made for my mom's birthday. The dog days of summer have commenced, but I'll hold onto these juicy flavors as long as possible. Ingredients: 3 types of melon, 3 types of heirloom tomatoes, cucumber roll-ups with vegan almond milk cheese, baby arugula, sliced almonds, diced red onion, mint, basil, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, and olive oil.
