Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1/2 red onion thinly sliced

  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, divided

  • 1 (1 1/2-inch thick) slice watermelon, from a large seedless watermelon

  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

  • 2 tablespoons chopped toasted walnuts

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint

  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Directions

  1. Combine onions, vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl and stir well. Let stand 15 to 20 minutes. 

  2. Heat a grill or large grill pan over high heat and lightly coat grates with cooking spray. Brush one side of watermelon lightly with olive oil. Place watermelon, oiled side down, on grill and cook, undisturbed, just until grill marks appear, about 2 minutes. Remove from grill; place grilled side up onto a large cutting board.  

  3. Cut watermelon into 6 wedges; push wedges together to maintain a circular shape. Top evenly with feta cheese, walnuts, mint, and pepper, and drizzle with remaining olive oil.
