Grilled watermelon salad makes a fresh and exciting summer dish. While fruit salads are a usual summer treat, this salad takes fruity flavors to an entirely new level.
Found on the Verses From My Kitchen blog, this salad uses minimal ingredients most foodies are accustomed to. Contrary to a typical salad, this grilled dish lacks any vegetable-based ingredients and instead requires 10 large watermelon cubes. Each cube is grilled until grill marks appear, then topped with a homemade balsamic dressing, feta cheese and thinly sliced mint.
Grilled watermelon salad can be enjoyed on its very own or served as a refreshing side to a Mediterranean pasta dish. When consuming this interesting melon-based salad, serve it with a glass of crisp white wine.
