Ingredients

SALAD INGREDIENTS

  • Watermelon seeded and cubed
  • Feta Cheese crumbled
  • Baby Arugula
  • Fresh Mint chopped, 1/4 cup
  • Cucumber
  • Fresh Blueberries
  • Red Onion sliced or diced
  • Glazed Pecans or nuts of choice

HONEY-LIME VINAIGRETTE

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Assemble salad, adding quantities to your taste.
  • To make dressing: Add all ingredients to a mason jar. Shake vigorously until combined. Adjust seasoning to taste. Dress your salad right before serving.

Notes

  • No need to measure ingredients in this salad, just mix according to your taste and preference. The salad is dressed with a Honey-Lime Vinaigrette that’s tangy with a hint of sweetness.
  • You can prep your salad ingredients ahead but keep them separate and assemble right before serving as watermelon and cucumber release juices once cut.
  • To take the bite out of raw onion and mellow the flavor, soak your onion in ice water. Submerge your sliced or diced onion in ice water and let it soak for 10 – 15 minutes, before draining and adding them to your salad.
  • Olive oil becomes cloudy and solidifies when refrigerated. If making vinaigrette ahead, remove from fridge to warm up to restore consistency before using.
