Leah's Notes:

This salad is so good you will be licking the vinaigrette out of the bottom of your salad bowl! It is sweet, savory and spicy all in one!

Directions

to make the vinaigrette dressing: Whisk together the first 6 ingredients. Gradually add the oil in whisking until blended. Set a side

For the Salad: You can serve this family style on a platter or in individual bowls. Place the lettuce down first

next place the watermelon on top of lettuce, sprinkle with feta cheese then nuts.

last drizzle the dressing on top.
