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 chèvre cheese. Cooking time includes the "resting time" for the watermelon prior to grilling.

Steps:
- 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.
- Lightly sprinkle the wedges on both sides with the salt. Stand the wedges on their edges on a rack over a sink or pan and let them drain for half an hour.
- Preheat the grill to high.
- After the watermelon has drained, rinse each piece under cold running water. Place each piece between two folded paper towels and gently but firmly press to remove excess water. You should stop just when you feel the watermelon begin to crunch.
- Brush the watermelon lightly on both sides with the olive oil. Grill over high heat until grill marks have formed and the melon is slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from grill and sprinkle with sea salt and a little fresh ground pepper.

GRILLED WATERMELON WITH WHIPPED FETA DIP
Watermelon and feta is a combination we have come to know and love. But have you ever grilled watermelon? The sugars caramelize beautifully on a grill, which makes this summer melon taste even sweeter - if that is at all possible! Paired with a creamy dip of feta cheese and fresh herbs, this dish is the perfect combo of sweet and salty.

Steps:
- Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. If using an outdoor grill, preheat over medium-high heat until a thermometer registers 500 degrees F; clean and lightly oil the grill grates. See Cook's Note.
- Cut the watermelon in half lengthwise. Cut each half into 1-inch thick slices shaped like half-moons. Working in batches, grill the watermelon slices, uncovered, until just marked, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet to cool slightly. Once cool enough to touch, cut the watermelon into triangles, leaving the rind intact to serve as a handle for dipping.
- Pulse the garlic in a food processor until minced. Add the feta, yogurt , herbs and 2 tablespoons of the feta brine. Process until whipped and smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Transfer to a small bowl. Top with a drizzle of honey, pepper and more herbs.
- Transfer the grilled watermelon "dippers" to a platter and serve with the feta dip.

Steps:
- Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat. If using an outdoor grill, heat over medium-high heat until a thermometer registers 500 degrees F. You want the grill or grill pan to be screaming hot so the watermelon chars quickly. If it takes too long it will turn mushy.
- Cut the watermelon in half lengthwise. Cut each half into 1-inch-thick half-moon slices. Grill the watermelon slices, working in batches if using a grill pan, until just marked, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a colander placed over a large bowl to cool and collect the juices. Once cool enough to handle and you have about 1 tablespoon watermelon juice, slice the rind off the watermelon and cut the flesh into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, toss the beans with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and place onto the center of a large piece of foil so that most of the beans are flat but some are still overlapping. Roll up all 4 sides of the foil to create a tray, leaving the top open so you can still see the beans. Transfer the foil to the grill and cook, covered, until the beans are softened and charred, 7 to 8 minutes.
- Whisk the vinegar, Dijon, shallot, reserved 1 tablespoon watermelon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil until emulsified.
- Add the spinach, chives, tarragon, nutritional yeast and fennel with fronds to a large bowl. Fold in the watermelon, beans and dressing. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

HOW TO GRILL WATERMELON (EASY GRILLED WATERMELON)
Juicy, charred, and a little smoky, this Grilled Watermelon with Chili and Honey-Lime Sauce is a quick and easy summer dish that will truly stand out! Pro tip: Use a mini watermelon. A "small" 2 1/2-pound watermelon will yield plenty of grilled watermelon to feed a small crowd! Serve it as a side with harissa chicken or grilled fish, or as a summery dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of honey.

Steps:
- Heat an outdoor gas grill or an indoor griddle or cast iron grill to high.
- Slice the melon. Wash the melon and trim the ends so that you're able to set the melon flat on your cutting surface. Cut the melon it into two halves, then cut the halves into quarters. From there slice into 1/2 -inch triangles with the rind on (do not remove the rind/skin).
- Grill. Arrange the melon wedges or triangles on the prepared hot grill in one single layer. Grill over high direct heat for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, watching for some grill marks to appear.
- While the melons are on the grill, quickly prepare the chili and honey-lime sauce. In a small microwave safe bowl, combine the honey, lime juice, and Aleppo pepper flakes (or red pepper flakes). Mix with a spoon then warm the mixture in the microwave for just a few seconds (no more than 10 seconds). Or, you can put your honey in a glass jar and cover tightly and leave it in a bowl of warmed water until it has loosened).
- Arrange the grilled watermelon.

- Grate the zest of the lemons until just before it gets to the white part. (When grating lemon peel, use this fast and easy trick. Cover the zesting side of your grater with plastic wrap and grate the lemon over the plastic wrap. Most of the zest will remain on the plastic wrap and not stick in the holes of the grater. Remember not to grate the bitter, white part under the peel.)
