Grilled Cucumber Watermelon Salad

zahulio

Made this on the weekend. Easy recipe and a nice change of pace from grilling meat. Made it on XL BGE at 500 degrees, 3-5 minutes per side.

Well done. Next time try some mint, feta, and cherries mixed in. You won’t be sorry.

zahulioi m definitely trying this saturday thanks for the inspiration. I have a question; did you slice the cucumber up before grilling and do it on a pan of some sort or did you just halve them and grill em and sliced afterwards?

Killit_and_Grillit and a question for you do you grill the cherries as well, and if so im assuming in a tray?

 Im going to add the mint and Ill use goat cheese after cukes and melon grilled  should you eat right away or can you/should you let it cool?

@mlc2013 you can grill them in a tray or skewer. I don’t. I usually will chill the salad prior to serving and that watermelon will pick up flavor quick. 

Then toss in the cucumber and cheese.

Killit_and_Grillit okay so let me get this straight grill watermelon right on grill and cherries in a pan of some sort , then mix and cool.
 then grill the cucumbers and add the grilled cukes and the mint and the goat cheese to the cooled watermelon stir and serve.?

Grill, chill, mix cool ingredients, serve.
