Pepper Jelly Vinaigrette
6 slice seedless watermelon
1/3 c. extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1 clove garlic
Pinch of sugar
1 sprig Fresh basil
Freshly ground black pepper
2 c. cherry tomatoes (mixed colors and varieties)

Instructions

Light a charcoal or gas grill. Brush the Pepper Jelly Vinaigrette over each watermelon slice. Let the watermelon marinate for a few minutes before placing on the hot grill. Grill each side of the watermelon slices for several minutes, remove, cut into large serving pieces, and arrange on a platter.
Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, sugar, and basil in a small mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add the tomatoes and toss to coat them well, then scatter them over the grilled watermelon pieces on the platter. Toss the lettuces in the vinaigrette remaining in the bowl.
Crumble the goat cheese over the tomatoes and watermelon. Scatter the dressed lettuces, then the fresh herbs, over the salad.
