A refreshing and vibrant salad combining sweet watermelon, tangy feta, and a spicy lime vinaigrette.
Combine the olive oil, lime juice, champagne vinegar, thyme, minced shallot, and finely chopped serrano chili in a jar with a lid.
Shaking the vinaigrette in a jar ensures it emulsifies well.
Season the vinaigrette with salt to taste and refrigerate until ready to use.
Chilling the vinaigrette allows the flavors to meld together.
Cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes.
Use a sharp knife for clean cuts and to avoid crushing the watermelon.
In a mixing bowl, gently toss the watermelon cubes with the arugula and crumbled feta cheese.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the watermelon and feta.
Drizzle the chilled vinaigrette over the salad and garnish with lime slices.
Add the vinaigrette just before serving to keep the salad fresh.
