Watermelon and Feta Salad with a Lemon Orange Vinaigrette






Ingredients
·         ¼ Cup freshly squeezed orange juice
·         ¼ Cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (approx. 2 lemons)
·         1 Tbsp. Honey
·         ½  Cup olive oil
·         1 Tsp kosher salt
·         ½ Tsp black pepper
·         6 Cups arugula
·         2 Cucumbers (diced)
·         Red onion Julienne
·         Watermelon (rind removed and cut into cubes approx. ½ inch to 1 inch. About ¼ of a med sized watermelon is needed for the recipe
·         14 oz. of feta cheese crumbled

Procedure
1.      Whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, shallots, honey, salt, and pepper. Slowly pour in the olive oil, whisking constantly.  (You need to whisk constantly so the oil will mix with the juice and emulsify.  If it is not mixed enough the juice and the oil will separate.)
2.      Place the arugula, watermelon, onion, and feta, in a bowl, add the lemon orange vinaigrette.
3.      Add salt and pepper to taste
4.      Serve and enjoy
