Directions
Grilled Watermelon,This is something you need to try (as a side dish, dessert or incorporated into a salad or salsa). You will be surprised to taste that the watermelon is not quite as sweet as you’d think and it’s more “meaty”. I first had it in Sweden as a side dish and came home looking for the recipe! You can easily turn this recipe into a grilled watermelon salad by serving each wedge on a bed of baby lettuces or arugula, drizzled with a raspberry vinaigrette dressing then sprinkled with a little crumbled feta, blue, or chvre cheese. Cooking time includes the “resting time” for the watermelon prior to grilling.

How to Get Your Watermelon Wedges: Cut the Watermelon in Half, Place Cut Side Down on the Table, Then Cut Into Slices, About 1 1/2 Inches Thick. Cut Each Slice in Half, Creating Two Wedges (if Your Melon Is Really Big, You May Need to Cut Each Slice Into Three Wedges). You Can Leave the Rind on or Cut It Off, Totally Up to You. |
