Recipe: Grilled Watermelon and Feta Stacked Salads

Are you looking for a new summer recipe? We have found an incredibly delicious watermelon and feta salad from Cooking for Keeps!

By this point in the summer, I am always looking for fresh inspiration - it's still too early to bring out the fall menu, but we are all tired of the same old summer dishes! This Grilled Watermelon and Feta Stacked Salad is an amazing new dish to try!

• 8 ounces whole feta cheese, cut into four smaller squares (length wise, they should be about 3”x3”)
• ½ large watermelon cut into 8 squares the same size as feta
• 2 cups arugula
• ½ cup balsamic vinegar
• Salt and Pepper to Taste
• Olive oil

Directions:

1. Prepare a grill or grill pan to a very high heat.
2. Place balsamic in a small saucepan. Turn the heat on medium, bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer until thickened and similar in texture to syrup, about five minutes. Let cool.
3. Drizzle watermelon with a little bit of olive oil, season with a bit of salt and pepper. Grill VERY quickly, just getting a slight char, about ten seconds per side.
4. Toss arugula with about a teaspoon or two of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Place watermelon squares on platter, top with feta, and another watermelon. Place about ½ cup of arugula on top of watermelon and drizzle with reduced balsamic vinegar.

This recipe from Cooking for Keeps will be a winner for everyone at your dinner table - and we bet that they will be asking for the recipe!

Enjoy!
