Never Enough Watermelon

I love watermelon and am always willing to try a new recipe. This one makes for an especially good summer meal.

Basic Preparation
If you don't like arugula (which I don't) any other bitter green will work. This recipe would also likely work with any other summer melon or even peaches. The key is to use ingredients that are in season rather than be a slave to the recipe.

Watermelon Salad with Serrano Vinaigrette

Watermelon Salad
1 medium seedless watermelon
1/2 lb feta
1 serrano chile, thinly sliced
1/4 lb baby arugula
1/2 tsp kosher salt

Cut the watermelon and feta into 16 three-inch squares, each 1/4-inch thick. Gently toss everything, with half of the vinaigrette, in a large bowl. Place some of the greens on each of four plates. On top of the greens on each plate arrange four watermelon slices and top each of those with a slice of feta. Garnish with serrano slices and the remaining vinaigrette.

Serrano Vinaigrette
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp champagne vinegar
1 shallot, minced
1 serrano chile, thinly sliced
1/2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
1/4 tsp kosher salt

Combine all ingredients and mix until the oil is emulsified.
