WATERMELON AND FETA SALAD WITH SERRANO CHILE VINAIGRETTE



Watermelon and Feta Salad With Serrano Chile Vinaigrette image

"Sweet, salty, tangy, and hot. This salad hits all the points of your palate," says chef Hugh Acheson, head chef of Five&Ten in Athens, Georgia. InStyle magazine claims this is the "Summer's Best Salad" in their June 09 Issue. The season's most refreshing dish combines tasty watermelon and feta spiked with chiles. This appetizing recipe goes well with grilled chicken, but you can also serve it as a sophisticated dessert.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

For vinaigrette
1 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons Champagne vinegar
1/4 cup finely chopped shallot (1 large)
1 (2-inch) fresh serrano chile, thinly sliced crosswise (1 tablespoon)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
For watermelon and pickled rind
1 (6-lb) piece seedless watermelon
1 cup rice vinegar (not seasoned)
2 tablespoons sugar
For salad
1/2 lb arugula (6 cups)
1/2 lb feta, crumbled (2 cups)
1 (2-inch) fresh serrano chile, thinly sliced crosswise (1 tablespoon)

Steps:

  • Make vinaigrette:
  • Whisk together all vinaigrette ingredients and chill in an airtight container at least 8 hours to allow flavors to develop. Shake or whisk before using.
  • Prepare watermelon and pickled rind:
  • Remove and discard outer green skin from watermelon with a sharp knife. Using a vegetable peeler, shave enough 2-inch-long pieces from white rind to measure 1/2 cup. Transfer to a heatproof bowl. Reserve remaining watermelon.
  • Stir together rice vinegar and sugar in a 1-quart heavy saucepan and bring to a boil. Carefully pour boiling-hot vinegar mixture over white rind shavings and let stand at least 1 hour.
  • Trim and discard remaining white rind from watermelon, then cut watermelon into 18 pieces (about 3-inch squares).
  • Make salad:
  • Toss arugula with just enough vinaigrette to coat and salt to taste.
  • Divide arugula among 6 plates, then place 1 watermelon piece in center of each plate. Top each with a scant 1/4 cup feta, then top with another watermelon piece and more feta. Top each with a final watermelon piece for a stack of 3 on each plate.
  • Remove pickled rind from vinegar with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Top watermelon stacks with pickled rind and chile slices, then drizzle remaining vinaigrette around salads.
