Ingredients

  • 1 Medium Seedless Watermelon 2 1/2-3 pounds

  • Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until you see grill marks on the watermelon and it’s slightly soft.
  • Remove from the grill.
  • Remove the watermelon from the grill and then serve topped with the fresh cilantro and feta cheese.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

This is best served immediately off the grill while warm. 
This recipe makes approximately 20 watermelon wedges and will serve roughly 6 people for a delicious appetizer or dessert.
