Spicy Grilled Watermelon Salad
Spruce up your watermelon with this Spicy Grilled Watermelon Salad to get your taste buds excited for summer!
Ingredients
- 1 medium jalapeno pepper - sliced
- juice of one lime
- 3 cups seedless watermelon
- 3 tablespoon chopped mint leaves
- 1 medium tomato
- ⅔ cup diced feta
- 1 small Fresno pepper or red jalapeño - finely diced
- 2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt (optional)
Instructions
- Slice the jalapeño and place it in a small bowl with the lime juice to marinate while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
- Slice the watermelon about ¾ inch thick and in quarters so it is easy to manage.
- On a very hot grill pan or grill, grill the watermelon to achieve grill marks and caramelize some of the sugars - about 30-50 seconds per side. When the watermelon is done, cut into large dice and add to your main salad bowl for service.
- Add the remaining ingredients and taste for seasoning.
- At this point you could add a bit more balsamic, some additional lime juice from the jalapeño marinade, more mint or a bit of salt. Serve.
