Grilled Watermelon, jalapeno and Feta Salad

This surprises so many people when say "grilled watermelon", but truly this adds such a depth of flavor! You can skip this part, although I would suggest you try at least once if you can! The amount of jalapeno is up to you, more for spicier or less (even none). I will often do this with both red and yellow melon.

5-6 slices of watermelon,2-3" thick*
oil (neutral, like grape seed)
3 tbsp chopped basil
4 oz JFF Feta cheese
3 tbsp honey whisked with 1 tbsp oil
1 jalapeno, char roasted, skin and seeds removed, finely diced

Heat grill on high. Grill the jalapeno until charred nicely. Remove to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap; set aside. Brush the watermelon lightly with oil . Reduce heat on grill to medium. Place slices on grill. Watching carefully, let melon char slightly, turn once. Remove from grill to a platter.

Cut the watermelon slices in bite size pieces place in bowl.  Drizzle honey/oil, add basil and jalapeno. Toss to coat well. Crumble feta and gently toss with melon. Serve at room temperature.
