Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Bring broth to boil in a small saucepan. Add quinoa and cover, reduce heat to low. Cook for 15 minutes, or until broth is absorbed. Spread quinoa onto a large baking sheet pan into a thin layer to cool.
- Once the quinoa has cooled to room temperature, arrange the arugula on a large serving platter. Top with quinoa, watermelon, avocado, pumpkin seeds, mint, and feta.
- Combine the lime zest and juice, oil, and honey in a small bowl. Whisk to combine and drizzle the dressing over the salad. Add salt and pepper if desired.
