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.

Neutral oil, for the grates if grilling outdoors
1 small seedless watermelon (3 to 4 pounds)
2 cloves garlic, peeled
One 7-ounce block good-quality feta, packed in brine, brine reserved (see Cook's Note)
1/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt (see Cook's Note)
2 teaspoons packed fresh herbs, such as dill, mint or thyme leaves, plus more for serving
Honey, for serving
Freshly cracked black pepper

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.

1 small red onion, sliced
3 large or 4 smaller 1-inch-thick slices watermelon
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon Aleppo pepper or mild chili powder (to taste)
