If you want to put a little red, white and blue into your Fourth Of July gathering (or any other get together) try this Watermelon Feta Flag Salad.
I’m always surprised at what a great combination feta is with fruit. Here it’s served with watermelon and blueberries on a bed of arugula. Fun and refreshing.
Watermelon Feta Flag Salad
Ingredients for vinaigrette:
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup chopped red onion
Ingredients for salad:
6 cups fresh arugula (about 5 ounces)
1-1/2 cups fresh blueberries
5 cups cubed seedless watermelon
8 ounces feta cheese, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
Directions:
1. To make the vinaigrette, combine the first 6 ingredients in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in oil until blended then stir in onion.
2. In a large bowl, toss arugula with 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette. Arrange evenly in a large rectangular serving dish.
3. For the flag’s stars, place blueberries over arugula at the top left corner of the serving dish.
4. For the flag’s stripes, arrange watermelon and feta in alternating rows.
5. Drizzle salad with the remaining vinaigrette.
