Brush both sides of the watermelon wedges with olive oil. Place them on a hot grill for about 30 - 60 seconds per side, until you start to see some nice grill marks.
4 wedges of watermelon, each about 1 inch thick, with the rind still on, 1 tbsp olive oil
Allow the watermelon to cool and then cut the wedges into 1 inch thick cubes, discarding the rind.
While the watermelon is cooling, make your balsamic reduction by pouring the balsamic vinegar in a very small pot and heating it over medium heat for approximately 10 minutes. Keep a close eye on the vinegar; you want it to be reduced and end up thick, but still pourable. It can easily become overly reduced and thick like molasses (and not pourable at all). Once your balsamic vinegar has reduced to your liking, remove it from the heat and set it aside.
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
In a large bowl combine the watermelon, the feta, the green (spring) onion, the mint and the black pepper. Toss carefully.
1/2 cup Greek feta, cut into 1/2 inch cubes, 1/4 cup chopped green (spring) onion, 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Arrange the salad on serving plates and carefully drizzle the balsamic reduction over the salad. Pour on as much as you would like, to taste.
Enjoy!
