Throughout the summer, watermelon is at its peak. It’s richly hydrating and packed with vitamin C, vitamin A, and lycopene, making it as nourishing as it is cooling on hot days. But before you reach for a chilled slice of watermelon, consider putting it on the grill.
That’s right, the grill: The heat lightly caramelizes the fruit’s surface with a hint of char, transforming this juicy, sweet summer staple into something unexpectedly sophisticated. Layer it into this salad for a refreshing, light, and healthy dish. Paired with peppery arugula and briny feta, the charred melon becomes the centerpiece in a salad that balances sweet, salty, and savory notes in every bite.
It’s bright, fresh, and effortlessly elegant—a dish made for end-of-summer al fresco evenings at the table.
