Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more
1 (4-pound) seedless watermelon, rind removed, cut into 1/2"-thick slices
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
4 multicolored heirloom tomatoes, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more
6 ounces feta, thinly sliced (about 1 1/4 cups)

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat or heat a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high; oil grate or pan.
  • Using a 2" diameter ring cutter or thin drinking glass, cut watermelon into circles; you should have 20-22 pieces (reserve scraps for another use). Season watermelon on both sides with 1/2 tsp. salt. Grill watermelon until well charred, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside until cool to the touch, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toss tomatoes, 1 Tbsp. oil, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a large bowl.
  • Layer watermelon, tomato mixture, and cheese in alternating layers on a platter, draining any extra liquid from tomatoes before using. Drizzle with oil, season with pepper, and serve.

I was skeptical about grilling watermelon, but I'm so glad I tried it! The grilled watermelon has a slightly smoky flavor that pairs perfectly with the feta and tomatoes.
