2 large Scallions, raw
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
8 oz Feta Cheese
1 dash Salt
1 dash Pepper, black

Tips
For a more syrupy vinegar, you can reduce the balsamic in a non-reactive pan by simmering over medium heat for 10-15 minutes.
Directions
- Remove watermelon from rind and cut into 2-inch square sections (about 20). Divide watermelon pieces evenly and place on four skewers.
Grill:
- Place skewers directly on grill grate and cook, turning 2 or 3 times, until light grill marks appear.
Assemble & Serve:
- On each plate, start with a bed of arugula, then divide up evenly among the plates the beans, scallions and feta.
- Shake on a little salt and pepper.
- Rest 1 grilled watermelon skewer over top of salad on each plate.
- Drizzle the balsamic and olive oil over skewer and greens.
