Curried Crab, Granny Smith Apple, and Watermelon Salad with Arugula

This sounds YUMOLA to me:
(4 servings)

3 T. Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
2 T. finely chopped Granny Smith apple
1 T. finely chopped sweet* white onion
1&1/2 t. mild curry powder
A tiny pinch of saffron threads, crumbled (optional*)
1 T. finely chopped cilantro (I would use flat leaf parsley)
1 T. finely chopped lemon mint (I grow this on my balcony farm)
1/2 cup light* mayo
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
1 lb. jumbo lump crab meat, picked over for shells*
Four 1/2" thick, half-round watermelon slices from a large seedless* watermelon, rind removed
2 T. plus 1 t. fresh lime juice
5 oz. arugula

In a saucepan, heat 1 T. of the oil. Add the apple, onion, curry and saffron and cook over moderate heat until the onion is softened, 5 mins. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 t. water; let cool. Scrape the mixture into a mini food processor. Add the mayo and process. Transfer the mayo to a bowl and add the cilantro and mint. Season with S&P, then fold in the crab meat. Cut each slice of watermelon into 2 triangles and transfer to 4 plates. Season with S&P and sprinkle each plate with 1 t. lime juice. Mound the crab salad on the watermelon. In another bowl, toss the arugula with the remaining 1 T. of lime juice and the remaining 2 T of oil and season with S&P. Arrange the arugula on the plates and serve with mini Triscuits*.

Have FUN on this beautiful day.
