"Diana, just a quick heads up to let you know we are still using your cookbook and the guys will often be heard saying what would Diana say about this or that....really good feed back... I made your potato salad and the oriental coleslaw on Sat. for a family luncheon and had rave reviews so thanks again."

Grilled Cheese, Watermelon & Arugula Sandwich
You need at least eight colourful fruits and vegetables every day. What an easy way to meet one of those servings by adding them to a sandwich!
Ingredients:
4 slices watermelon, approximately 4”x 4″x ½” thick (10cm x 10cm x 1.5cm thick)
8 slices, 100% whole grain bread, preferably chewy in texture
2 tbsp (30 mL) stone-ground mustard
6 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese, divided into 4 equal portions
cooking spray
1 ½ cups (375 mL) baby arugula
Directions:
1. Place watermelon pieces between paper towels to absorb extra fluid. Set aside.
2. On each of four slices of bread, spread mustard and top with 1 ½ ounces cheese. Top with second slice of bread.
3. On a griddle or grill press, spray cooking spray and grill the 4 sandwiches on each side until cheese begins to melt. Remove from griddle/grill, open and place a slice of watermelon and arugula. Close sandwich and cut in half. Serve. Makes 4 servings.
