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.

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.

Steps:
- Prepare a grill for medium-high heat or heat a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high; oil grate or pan.
- Using a 2" diameter ring cutter or thin drinking glass, cut watermelon into circles; you should have 20-22 pieces (reserve scraps for another use). Season watermelon on both sides with 1/2 tsp. salt. Grill watermelon until well charred, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside until cool to the touch, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss tomatoes, 1 Tbsp. oil, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a large bowl.
- Layer watermelon, tomato mixture, and cheese in alternating layers on a platter, draining any extra liquid from tomatoes before using. Drizzle with oil, season with pepper, and serve.
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.
