Ingredients

  • 6 cups cubed watermelon
  • 4 ounces feta cheese cut into cubes
  • 1-2 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Balsamic glaze for drizzling on top of the salad

Instructions

  • Cut the watermelon into 1 inch thick slabs and lightly brush them with olive oil. Place the slabs of watermelon cut side down onto a heated grill and grill for about 2-3 minutes per side or until marked and warm.
  • Remove from the grill and cut off the rind, then cut into 1 inch cubes. Toss the grilled watermelon with the basil, salt, pepper, and lime juice. Stir in the cubed feta being careful not to break it up.
  • Drizzle the salad with the balsamic reduction before serving. Salad is best made and eaten the day it is served.
