This Grilled Watermelon and Feta Salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that makes a lovely starter to a meal, a perfect side dish to a bbq or pot luck and could even be a full lunch or dinner meal by adding some grilled chicken!
6 cups large cubed watermelon that has been grilled
4 ounces feta cheese, cut into cubes
1-2 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon of good olive oil, like Olea Greek Olive Oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1/4 teaspoon flake sea salt, like Maldon Sea Salt
Black pepper to taste
2 cups of micro greens or arugula
Balsamic glaze for drizzling on top of the salad
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.
Arrange on a bed of micro greens or arugula.
Drizzle the salad with the balsamic reduction before serving. Salad is best made and eaten the day it is served.
