Best Picnic Recipes: Arugula Watermelon Salad Salad recipes don't get simpler (or prettier) than this fresh picnic food idea. With watermelon as its centerpiece, the dish takes full advantage of summertime.
Salad Ingredients:
6 cups baby arugula, washed and spun dry
1/8th of a seedless watermelon, rind removed, and cut in 1-inch cubes
12 ounces feta cheese, diced
1 cup whole fresh mint leaves, julienned
Dressing Ingredients:
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup minced shallots
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black
Directions:
For dressing, whisk together orange juice, lemon juice, shallots, honey, salt and pepper. Slowly pour in olive oil, whisking constantly, to form an emulsion.
Place arugula, watermelon, feta, and mint in a large bowl. Drizzle with enough vinaigrette to coat the greens lightly, and toss well.
