Grilled Watermelon Salad
As Canadians, we’re known for taking full advantage of the fleeting summer we have; I’ll put on sweatpants and hoodie just to sit outside and enjoy the sun for a while. This goes for food too. On multiple occasions I’ve had to put on a winter jacket or rain suit just to venture out to the barbecue. Watermelon is definitely best enjoyed on a hot sunny day; weather that Canada never seems to dependably provide. But in honour of our country’s 148th birthday, I’ll suck it up in order to make a patriotic looking salad. I had never grilled watermelon before this, just seen the idea in magazines and assumed it was one of those things that only works with a professional team and good lighting. It’s actually quite easy though and looks like you put in a lot more effort than you did. I hope this salad makes your Canada Day and your summer a little brighter!
