Steps:

• Method:
• Place the watermelon in a large mixing bowl. Add the minced serrano chili pepper and lime juice to the bowl and toss gently until combined. Sprinkle with the feta and cilantro leaves and toss once more to incorporate. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

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.

Steps:

• Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the tomatoes, arugula, and onions; toss to coat. Gently stir in the watermelon and feta cheese to serve.

Steps:

• On a large platter, arrange the watermelon and douse with the vinegar. Season with salt.
• Arrange the feta over the watermelon and drizzle over the olive oil. Season with pepper.
• Drop the basil leaves over the watermelon and feta. Serve immediately.
