Nothing tastes as sweet and succulent as grilled melon. This summery side dish features three different types. While white balsamic vinegar is a classic pairing with fresh melons, you can use white wine vinegar or even apple cider vinegar in this easy recipe. Looking for some more vegan barbecue recipes?

(5 from 4 votes)Wow!! So good and different! I just happened to have all the ingredients, so I whipped this up to eat with dinner. However, after thinking about it, it should probably be eaten on its own, as melons are digested better on their own. We are a family of seven, and six out of seven gobbled it up, especially my picky eater!
This sounds good. Will try.
