Grilled Watermelon

There is nothing more refreshing, on a hot summer day, than a thick juicy piece of watermelon. It has become the staple side to any barbecue or picnic. Now add the depth that grilling brings to watermelon and you get a beautiful balance of smokey, sweet, and a touch of bitter. Transformed, the watermelon takes on a softer more pliable form. Here we accompany the watermelon with beautiful  baby heirloom tomato, the sharpness of the firm, yet creamy, feta cheese. With the addition of tangerine we brighten the tone of the dish and use the sunflower seeds for texture and complexity. Then we add mint to keep the freshness of the dish and add color. And finally we bring the dish together with a delightfully fresh and light mint-orange muscat vinaigrette.
