Preparation Instructions

1

Prepare the Melons

Using a melon baller or knife, scoop or cut the watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

2

Prepare the Cucumber and Radish

Slice the cucumber into thin rounds. Thinly slice the watermelon radish. Add both to the bowl with the mixed melons.

3

Add Arugula and Feta

Gently fold in the baby arugula and crumbled feta cheese into the bowl with the melon mixture.

4

Make the Citrus Vinaigrette

In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, the juice of 1 orange, the juice of 1 lime, salt, and pepper to taste.

5

Combine and Serve

Drizzle the citrus vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine. Top with toasted pepitas and serve immediately.
