Grilled Watermelon Salad
Grilled Watermelon with Baby Arugula and Goat Cheese Salad
*Recipe courtesy of Chef Eric Finney, Arizona Grand Resort
Ingredients:
- 4 cups baby arugula
- 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
- 1/2 watermelon, peeled and cut into rectangles
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons high quality extra virgin olive oil
Directions:
- Grill watermelon over a very hot grill just long enough to place nice grill marks on both sides and pick up some flavor from the grill.
- Place watermelon rectangles in refrigerator to cool – you want the watermelon to be very cold when you actually prepare the salad.
- Remove watermelon from refrigerator and cut into uniform cubes.
- Combine all ingredients in mixing bowl and toss. Enjoy.
