Made with juicy, refreshing watermelon, this recipe for Grilled Watermelon Salad from the folks at Recipe Girl is just the right salad for warm weather get togethers and parties.

If you don’t have fresh watercress on hand, romaine lettuce will work well too.

A delicious variation on this grilled salad recipe would be to top it with crumbled bacon as a savory counterpoint to the flavor of the sweet watermelon.

Enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 small seedless watermelon, cut into 8 slices (about 5 lbs.)
2 Tbs olive oil
salt and pepper
2 bunches watercress, trimmed
2 Tbs balsamic vinegar
1 cup crumbled goat cheese
