Ingredients

Salad
4 cups (20 oz) chilled seedless watermelon diced into small chunks
4 cups baby arugula
1/2 english cucumber , halved lengthwise and sliced
1/3 cup quartered and thinly sliced red onion
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves , chopped
4 oz feta cheese , crumbled
2/3 cup chopped walnuts , toasted
Lemon Vinaigrette
1/3 cup olive oil
3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 Tbsp honey
1 tsp dijon mustard
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions

For the dressing:
In a jar combine olive oil, lemon juice, honey, mustard and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover with lid and shake to combine. Chill until ready to use.
To assemble salad:
In a salad bowl layer together salad ingredients (I actually like to set aside some of the feta and walnuts to sprinkle over the top, they tend to make their way to the bottom of the bowl somehow). Shake dressing again then pour over top. Very gently toss to coat. Serve immediately.

I thought incorporating grapes and walnuts in chicken salad was also a strange combo, but turns out to be one of my favorite snacks. Can't wait to try this recipe (mouth watering). Hmmmm!

Perfect timing, we just sliced a watermelon and harvested our first cucumber from the garden. We're having this for dinner! Following!
