Arugula, Watermelon & Feta Salad


This salad is the perfect balance between salty and sweet. It's crunchy and fresh and pairs well with red meat or can stand alone as a tasty lunch salad. Check out my super easy recipe and enjoy!


Ingredients:

½ Orange Juiced
1 Lemon Juiced
¼ Cup Olive Oil
½ Tablespoon of Honey (sometimes I use more if I'm feelin' sweet)
Fresh Ground Pepper
½ Cup of Thinly Sliced Red Onion (or however much you like)
1 Cup of Julienned Fresh Mint leaves
About 3oz of Arugula
2 Cups Cubed Seedless Watermelon (the redder the better)
Feta Cheese ( I buy it in block form and then shred it because I think the crumbles are too overpowering)

Mix together the orange juice, lemon juice, honey and pepper in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until all is combined. Add the thinly slice red onion and allow to marinate for 15 minutes. 
Toss arugula, mint, watermelon and dressing w/onions together and top with as much shredded feta as you like!
