6 1.5 inch watermelon wedges
1 1/2 cups raw corn kernels
1/2 cup diced red onion
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
Heaping 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/2 diced jalapeño
Cooking spray, for the grill
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 small avocado, diced
Mint and/or basil leaves
Lime wedges, optional
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the grill to medium high heat.
In a medium bowl, combine the corn, onion, red pepper, garlic, salt, lime juice and the jalapeño. Chill until ready to use.
