Ingredients

4 wedges seedless watermelon rind removed
2 romaine hearts halved lengthwise
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Feta Vinaigrette

¼ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 clove garlic grated
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
salt and pepper to taste
4 ounces crumbled feta

Instructions

Pre-heat grill over medium heat. While grill is pre-heating, brush watermelon and romaine halves with olive oil on both sides using a pastry brush. Sprinkle the romaine with salt and pepper on both sides.
Place romaine and watermelon on the grill. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, rotating once halfway through. You want a nice char but no need to over do it.
To make the vinaigrette, place all ingredients except the feta (olive oil through salt and pepper) in a medium bowl and whisk until emulsified. Taste for seasoning and adjust accordingly. Stir in crumbled feta.
Place the grilled romaine and watermelon on a platter or individual plates. Drizzle with the feta vinaigrette to serve.
