For the Watermelon
  • 3 pounds Medium Seedless Watermelon ripe and juicy watermelon ensures the sweetest flavor.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Honey-Lime Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the juice and zest of two limes with ¼ cup of honey until well combined. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
  2. Slice the Watermelon: Trim the ends off the watermelon, cut it in half, then into quarters. Slice each quarter into 1-inch thick triangles.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to high heat, aiming for around 400°F (200°C).
  4. Grill the Watermelon: Brush both sides of each triangle with the honey-lime mixture. Grill for about 2-3 minutes per side until grill marks develop.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove grilled watermelon and drizzle with remaining honey-lime mixture and sprinkle with cilantro.
