Tips for Perfect Grilled Watermelon

Grilled watermelon sounds wild, but it’s easy—and oh-so worth it. Here’s how to nail it:

Choose ripe but firm watermelon: You want it sweet, but not too soft.
Use high heat: Quick sear marks bring out natural sugars.
Don’t overgrill: 1–2 minutes per side is plenty.
Add Dorot Gardens Basil post-grill: This keeps the herb flavor fresh and vibrant.

These tips will level up any grilled watermelon salad, especially when paired with creamy feta and Dorot Gardens fresh-frozen basil.
