Preparation

Step 1

Place sliced onion in a bowl and cover with water and 1 teaspoon of the
vinegar. Soak 5 minutes, then drain and rinse. Drain on paper towels.

Prepare a medium-hot grill. Use 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to brush the
watermelon slices lightly. Grill for about 3 minutes per side, or until charred. Remove from heat and dice. Transfer, with juice, to a large salad bowl.

Add onions and remaining ingredients and toss together. Let sit for a few
minutes or for up to an hour before serving. Toss again just before serving.
