Grilled Watermelon “Caprese” Wedges

A twist to a summertime favorite! A sweet and tart vinaigrette and creamy feta work to compliment the refreshing watermelon.

INGREDIENTS

6 servings

For the vinaigrette:

1/4 cup olive oil
3 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar**For a thicker, glaze-like dressing, use an aged or reduced balsamic

2 Tbsp. honey
juice of half an orange
For the watermelon:

1 small seedless watermelon
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup fresh mint, cut in ribbons

1 tsp. sea salt

DIRECTIONS

For vinaigrette: Preheat grill to medium. Place all ingredients in a blender; blend until smooth and set aside.
Slice watermelon into 1/2- to 1-inch rounds, place rounds on grill and cook about 5 min. per side, until tender with nice grill marks.

Remove rounds from grill and cut into wedges (smaller for finger food servings, larger for individual plated servings).
Place wedges onto serving plates or platter, top each wedge with feta, mint, and sea salt, then finish with a drizzle of vinaigrette.
