Steps:
- Place watermelon chunks in a large bowl. Finely chop lemon zest. Add lemon juice and half of zest to bowl with watermelon. Add mint, oil, and arugula (if using) and toss until watermelon is evenly dressed. Season lightly to taste with salt and pepper. (The cheese will add saltiness, so go light on the salt at this stage.)
- Transfer salad to a wide, shallow bowl or a large plate and spread out evenly. Crumble feta over the top. Sprinkle with remaining lemon zest. Drizzle with more olive oil and a few grinds of black pepper. Serve immediately.

GRILLED WATERMELON AND MINT SALAD
Even sweeter and juicer than fresh, grilled watermelon plays well with sweet and sour blueberries and salty feta cheese and mint ties together all of the flavors. Serve the salad right away otherwise the salt from the feta will draw out too much water from the fruits and turn the salad into a less-than-appetizing soup.

GRILLED WATERMELON SALAD
Grilling watermelon is unexpected and a real summertime crowd pleaser. We jazz ours up with a sweet white balsamic vinegar and crunchy pistachios.

Steps:
- Whisk the vinegar, honey, 1 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of pepper in medium bowl. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in the oil until emulsified. Add the onions to the bowl and marinate for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut the watermelon in half lengthwise, then halve one half. Cut 8 slices of watermelon from each quartered piece and reserve the remaining half of the watermelon for another use. Brush both sides of the watermelon slices with some of the balsamic vinaigrette and sprinkle with salt. Grill, flipping once, until golden grill marks have formed and the watermelon is starting to feel warm and softened, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet.
- Remove the onions from the vinaigrette (reserve the vinaigrette) and grill, flipping once, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Toss the arugula and mint in the bowl with the reserved vinaigrette to coat well. Lay the grilled watermelon on the bottom of the platter then top with the grilled onions and the greens. Sprinkle with the feta and pistachios. Drizzle with more honey before serving.
GRILLED WATERMELON AND FETA SALAD
I love watermelon and feta salad, whether the watermelon is grilled or not. The sweet, juicy watermelon against the salty, creamy feta and pungent onions is a winning combination. This version introduces heat - if you serve it right after grilling the melon (it isn't a must) - and char. Throw the watermelon slices, with the rind, onto the grill after or before you've grilled your meat or fish or vegetables. Grill them on both sides until just charred, then cut away the rinds and dice up the melon for the salad.

Steps:
- Place sliced onion in a bowl and cover with water and 1 teaspoon of the vinegar. Soak 5 minutes, then drain and rinse. Drain on paper towels.
- Prepare a medium-hot grill. Use 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to brush the watermelon slices lightly. Grill for about 3 minutes per side, or until charred. Remove from heat and dice. Transfer, with juice, to a large salad bowl.
- Add onions and remaining ingredients and toss together. Let sit for a few minutes or for up to an hour before serving. Toss again just before serving.
