Ingredients

  • 1 small watermelon (1300 g or about 3 lbs), sliced into 2-inch triangles
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 2 limes, juice and zest only
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 jalapenos (28 g), seeded and thinly sliced
  • flaky sea salt, to taste

Directions
 

  • Preheat grill to high.
  • Brush the watermelon on both sides with 1 tablespoons of olive oil.
  • When the grill is hot, add the watermelon slices in a single layer and grill until char marks appear, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Be careful not to overcook as it may become mushy.

  • Spoon the lime mixture over both sides of the watermelon, sprinkle with flaky salt and top with jalapeno slices.
