DIRECTIONS
For vinaigrette: Preheat grill to medium. Place all ingredients in a blender; blend until smooth and set aside.
Slice watermelon into 1/2- to 1-inch rounds, place rounds on grill and cook about 5 min. per side, until tender with nice grill marks.
Remove rounds from grill and cut into wedges (smaller for finger food servings, larger for individual plated servings).
Place wedges onto serving plates or platter, top each wedge with feta, mint, and sea salt, then finish with a drizzle of vinaigrette.
