Watermelon, Cucumber, and Feta Salad image

This refreshing summer salad-a play of sweet and salty flavors-was inspired by some friends of mine reminiscing about the food they ate on a trip to Israel, where the pairing of fresh melon and feta cheese is fairly common. I was never one to sprinkle salt on my watermelon, but somehow with the addition of cucumber and citrus dressing, the contrast is incredibly refreshing.

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups seeded and diced ripe red or yellow watermelon (or a combination of both)
2 cups seeded and diced cucumber
1 bunch arugula or 2 cups spinach, washed and dried
1 small red onion, cut in half and thinly sliced
Citrus Dressing
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons honey
1/3 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
Pinch of cayenne
Salt
(makes about 1/2 cup, enough for 1 batch of salad)

Steps:

  • Toss the watermelon, cucumber, arugula, onion, and Citrus Dressing together in a large salad bowl. Divide the salad evenly among four plates. Top the salads with equal portions of the crumbled cheese.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon and lime juices with the honey, then add the olive oil, mint, cayenne, and salt, to taste.
