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.
