A Jerry James Stone Recipe

Ingredients
- 5 pounds watermelon
- 1 pint heirloom cherry tomatoes
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella
- fresh basil
- balsamic glaze
- sea salt
Instructions
- Take your watermelon and slice it into 1-inch rings. From there, cut it into triangles. NOTE: When picking out a watermelon, there is the number one thing you should look for... the yellow spot. If your watermelon does not have a yellow blemish on the skin, then it was picked way too soon.
- Try to remove as much excess juice from the slices as you can. I suggest patting it down with a paper towel. I do this right before grilling, and then I brush the watermelon with olive oil.
- Grill the watermelon on high for 2-3 minutes, until it is seared. I'm using this brand new Char-Broil grill I got from Lowe's. I haven't had my own grill, well, forever. I am really loving it. Features of the Char-Broil Commercial Series Grills include the TRU-Infrared cooking system, which cooks evenly and uses 30% fuel. You know how I feel about waste! And that temperature control creates amazingly juicy food. Learn more about the grill at the end of this recipe.
- Slice up the cherry tomatoes by placing them between two plates, the top one upside down. And running your knife between the gap.
- Add a watermelon slice, some cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, and fresh mozzarella to a plate. Drizzle all of it with balsamic glaze.
