Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread 4 cups of watermelon cubes onto skewers or place directly on the grill grates.
  2. Step 2: Grill the watermelon cubes for 2-3 minutes per side until grill marks appear and the watermelon is slightly softened but still firm.
  3. Step 3: In a large bowl, combine the grilled watermelon cubes with 1 cup crumbled feta cheese and 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons lime juice, 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper until emulsified.
  5. Step 5: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine all ingredients. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
