  1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar

  ½ teaspoon table salt, or to taste

  2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  6 cups baby arugula (6 oz)

  ¼ cup pine nuts (1 oz)

  ⅓ cup crumbled feta or ricotta salata (1½ oz)

  Coarsely ground black pepper to taste

  Fleur de sel to taste (optional)

Add watermelon, arugula, and pine nuts and toss to coat, then sprinkle with cheese, pepper, and fleur de sel (if using).
