Make this arugula watermelon salad to cool you down on a hot summer day. Peppery arugula is topped with fresh watermelon, feta cheese, and sunflower seeds, then tossed in a homemade orange vinaigrette.
In a large bowl, add arugula. Top with cubed watermelon, feta cheese, and sunflower seeds. Set aside.
In a bowl (or mason jar), zest orange, then slice in half and juice orange into the bowl. Add olive oil, honey, and salt. Whisk (or cover with lid and shake) to combine.
Just before serving, toss salad in dressing until evenly coated. Serve immediately. Or, toss salad ingredients and serve dressing on the side.
Notes
This recipe makes about four side salads or two large lunch sized salads.
If preparing ahead of an event, store watermelon in a separate container until ready to toss and serve.
Dressed salad does not keep well - if you plan to have leftovers, serve dressing to the side.
Vinaigrette dressing will keep for up to 1 week in the refrigerator.
