Grilled Watermelon on Serving Plate

About the Recipe: Grilling completely changes watermelon. Its taste changes as it loses its granular texture. I like it sliced a little thicker.  It’s hard to describe its taste since it seems like a little savory with a hint of sweetness.  I used it as a dessert but it could easily become a savory appetizer or salad with a touch of feta, goat cheese, or savory herbs.  Some people associate it to ahi tuna and treat it as a vegetarian main dish watermelon steak.  Dessert or main dish, it is very unique and a recipe you just need to try.
