How To Make Grilled Watermelon Pizza

You wouldn’t really think you’d need to fire up the grill for a watermelon recipe but I urge you to give this Watermelon Pizza recipe a try. It’s light, refreshing and filling. Plus, you don’t have to feel guilty if you eat the whole thing yourself.

  1. Fire up the grill.
  2. Brush the surface of the watermelon with olive oil on both sides.
  3. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Grill the watermelon slice over high heat for 2 minutes. Flip and grill on the opposite side for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  5. Transfer to a platter and top with the remaining ingredients.
  6. Drizzle with olive oil and serve.

How simple was that?
