Ingredients
For the Dressing
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, about 2 lemons
- ¼ cup minced shallots, 1 large
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
For the Salad
- 6 cups baby arugula, washed and spun dry
- 3 cups seedless watermelon, cut in 1-inch cubes
- 8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup whole fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
Instructions
Make the dressing:
- Whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, shallots, honey, and salt. Slowly pour in the olive oil, whisking constantly, to form an emulsion. If not using within an hour, transfer the dressing to an airtight container or lidded jar and refrigerate.
Assemble the salad:
- Place the arugula, watermelon, feta, and mint in a large bowl.
- Drizzle with enough vinaigrette to coat the greens lightly and toss well.
- Taste for seasonings and serve immediately.
