Grilled Watermelon and Goat Cheese Salad

Grilled Watermelon and Goat Cheese Salad

Makes 4 servings

• Slices of seedless watermelon cut into triangles, 3 triangles per salad
• 1 bag mixed baby lettuce
• 4 ounces goat cheese, cut into small chunks
• 1 small red onion cut into very thin slices
• 4- 8 fresh mint leaves, chopped
• 1-Tablespoon any good balsamic vinegar, I used a specialty flavored vinegar
• 3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

Preheat your grill. Cut the watermelon into triangles. Place the watermelon triangles on the grill, cooking for a minute or two on each side. You want the watermelon to be warmed and have grill marks. Remove to a plate.

Divide the baby lettuce among four plates. Cut the watermelon slices into chunks and distribute among the plates. Top each salad with the sliced onion and goat cheese. Sprinkle with the chopped mint. Mix together the vinegar and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon the dressing over each salad and serve immediately.
