Grilled Watermelon Salad



Grilled Watermelon Salad with arugula, feta, red onion, and mint is perfect for summer. I had Melissa’s hatch pepper pecans so I added to the salad for a kick. This salad is so good and definitely a crowd favorite!


Ingredients

Watermelon, sliced into disks, about 1 inch thick

Olive oil for brushing

Arugula or any greens

1/4 red onion, sliced

Crumbled feta, goat or Gorgonzola cheese

Mint or basil for garnish

Hatch Pepper Pecans or any nuts - optional


Balsamic Dressing:

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 garlic clove, minced

Pinch Salt and pepper


Directions

Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill. Brush just enough olive oil over watermelon slices to thinly coat. Grill each side 2-3 minutes until grill marks appear. Season with pinch of salt. Cut into bite sized pieces or any shape.

Dressing: Whisk ingredients together in a bowl.


Add arugula on a serving plate. Top with red onions, watermelon, feta, mint, and nuts.

Serve the dressing on the side to drizzle when ready to serve.
