Grilled Watermelon Salad! Summer is the season for grilling, and for those looking to eat better too, there's a delicious grilled watermelon salad. Grilled watermelon is not as well known as it should be, and it sometimes goes by "watermelon steak" because of how the consistency changes after grilling, and how tasty it is! Niagara Produce is also celebrating National Watermelon Day on August 3rd, so it's a great time to get into the watermelon mood!
