Grilled Watermelon with Whipped Feta Dip

Ingredients:

• 1 small seedless watermelon (1.3-1.8 kg)
• 2 cloves garlic, peeled
• 1 block (200g) of good quality feta in brine, set aside
• 1/4 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
• 2 tsp tightly packed fresh herbs, such as dill, mint, or thyme leaves, plus extra for serving
• Honey, for serving

Preparation:

1. Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. If using an outdoor grill, preheat it to 500°F (260°C); clean and lightly oil the grill grates. The grill pan or grill must be very hot so that the watermelon cooks quickly and does not become mushy..
2. Cut the watermelon in half lengthwise. Slice each half into 2.5 cm-thick half-moons. Grill the watermelon slices, uncovered, until they are charred, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and let cool slightly. Once the watermelon is cool enough to handle, cut it into triangles, leaving the rind on so you can use it for dipping.
3. Puree the garlic in a food processor. Add the feta, yogurt, herbs, and 2 tablespoons of the feta brine. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Transfer to a small bowl. Drizzle with honey, season with pepper, and sprinkle with herbs.
4. Transfer the grilled watermelon to a platter and serve with feta sauce.
