Uh huh, you heard that, Grilled watermelon.
Get your grill hot, really hot.
Slice watermelon about finger width or thicker slices.
Drizzle the melon with a high quality Greek olive oil such as Theros unfiltered extra virgin.
Sprinkle Herbs de Provence. Fleur de Sel (or kosher or sea salt) and grind some fresh black pepper over the oiled slices.
Place the watermelon on the hot grill for 3-4 minutes. Once grill marks appear, flip and grill the other side.
5 minutes is all it takes once you have a really hot grill. You want the melon to have some chars on it.
The flavor and texture totally changes and is a refreshing, wonderful treat!
Try it.
Smack your lips and say “Hallelujah!”
Your friends and neighbors will think you crazy at first, but they will soon be grilling their own watermelon and smacking their lips too.
Do you think Grilled Watermelon will be as popular as deep-fried turkey?
{Try it before you answer!}
Stay tuned! Find out how YOU can win a bottle of Theros Unfiltered Greek Olive Oil.

This looks gorgeous! Somehow I was under the impression that watermelon grilled would just crumple since it is so soft but obviously not! Yum 🙂
