This simple, yet sophisticated salad based on a summer staple.  The fresh flavor profile makes it an ideal side dish to accompany grilled chicken or fish.

Ingredients:

For the dressing:

• ¼ cup freshly-squeezed orange juice
• ¼ cup freshly-squeezed lemon juice
• 1 shallot, minced
• 1 tablepoon maple syrup
• ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon pepper

For the salad:

• 6 cups fresh arugula
• 2 cups seedless watermelon, cubed
• 6 oz feta cheese, crumbled
• 1 cup fresh mint, chopped
• ½ cup cucumber, thinly sliced and quartered

Directions:

1. Place all dressing ingredients in a mini food processor or blender and process until emulsified.  Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, gently toss all of the salad ingredients.  Drizzle with just enough dressing to lightly coat the arugula.  Toss again to distribute the dressing and serve immediately.
