Sweet, juicy watermelon is a quintessential all-American summer fruit that is usually eaten plain in all its luscious glory or with a simple sprinkle of salt. Watermelon is also an integral ingredient in many refreshing summer dishes and can add something special to your usual summer fare

Ingredients

8 thick watermelon slices, with rind on
Salt, to taste
Extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

Sprinkle watermelon slices with salt on both sides. Place flat in a strainer and let drain for about 1 hour.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Rinse watermelon under water and pat dry well with paper towels.
Brush watermelon with olive oil on both sides and place on grill. Let cook about 2 to 3 minutes per side or until grill marks are visible. Remove carefully from grill and re-season with salt.
