Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 1 small to medium seedless watermelon
  • 1/8 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 4 cups arugula
  • 1/2 cup crumbled goat or feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup thinly-sliced red onion
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns

Instruction

  • Cube the watermelon into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
  • To prepare pickled onions, thinly slice the onion, using mandoline for even cuts if you have one available.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the remaining pickling ingredients and bring to rapid boil, then remove from the heat. Place the sliced onions in heat-proof jar and pour the liquid over to evenly coat. The onions should soften within 15 minutes, depending on thickness.
  • In a small bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, lemon juice, and salt. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until incorporated.
  • In a mixing bowl, lightly dress and the arugula to taste and toss, then place it in a serving dish. Top it with the cubed watermelon, crumbled cheese, and pickled onions. Finish with any remaining vinaigrette, if desired.
