from Cooking Light
Ingredients:
- 1 cup sliced red onion
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 (3/4-inch-thick) slice seedless watermelon (from a 9-inch-diameter watermelon)
- 1 ounce creamy blue cheese, crumbled (about 1/4 cup)
- 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped pecans, toasted
- 2 tablespoons small basil leaves
Directions:
- Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Combine onion, vinegar, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl; let stand 15 minutes or until onion is softened, tossing occasionally. Combine 2 teaspoons brining liquid and 2 teaspoons olive oil, stirring with a whisk. Drain onion, and discard remaining liquid.
- Brush olive oil mixture onto both sides of watermelon slice. Grill watermelon 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until well-marked and juicy; place on a serving platter or cutting board. Top the watermelon with pickled onions, blue cheese, and pecans. Sprinkle with basil. Cut into 8 wedges.
Watermelon is a natural for salads and beverages in the summer. Or go for something a little unusual with watermelon in a beef stir-fry!
