Watermelon, Feta, and Arugula Salad by Grizzled Adams

Ingredients:

4 cups watermelon, cut into one inch cubes
3 cups loosely packed baby arugula
6 ounces crumbled or cubed feta cheese
About 20 peppermint leaves, chiffonaded (wash them, dry them, roll them up, then thinly slice into strips)
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons minced shallots
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Fresh ground pepper, to taste

Directions:

Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl or container, whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, shallots, honey, salt and pepper.

Pour in the olive oil into the vinaigrette mixture in one thin stream, whisking briskly as you pour to blend.

In a large bowl, gently toss the watermelon, arugula, feta, and peppermint.

Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss until evenly distributed.

Enjoy!

And NO, I did not "chiffonaded" the fucking mint, I just chopped it into strips....
