Ingredients
Quick Pickled Red Onions
- ½ cup water (boiling)
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- ½ medium red onion (thinly sliced)
Salad
- 6 cups spring mix (or arugula, or green leaf lettuce, or lettuce of choice)
- ½ watermelon (peeled and cut into bite sized cubes)
- 2 Persian cucumbers (or baby cucumbers, or English cucumber, thinly sliced)
- ½ cup feta (crumbled, or goat cheese)
- ½ cup candied pecans (or pecans, walnuts, or nut of choice)
Honey Dijon Vinaigrette
- 4 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra light tasting, or 2 tablespoon if you prefer a less vinegary dressing)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Optional: Quick pickled red onions. Use a kettle to boil ½ cup of water. Thinly slice the red onions and add them to a heat safe bowl. Pour the water over the onions and add the red wine vinegar. Set aside until ready to serve. Just before serving, drain the onions. You can also serve the onions on the salad raw and unpickled.
- In a small bowl or glass jar add all of the honey Dijon vinaigrette ingredients. Whisk together or shake the jar until evenly combined. Season to taste to personal preference with additional honey for sweetness, vinegar for acidity, or olive oil to reduce the acidity.
- In a large bowl toss the spring mix with the dressing until evenly coated.
- Spread the dressed lettuce out over a serving platter.
- Scatter the cubed watermelon, sliced cucumbers, sliced red onions, crumbled feta and candied pecans over the lettuce.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
