1 bunch of arugula

2 oz Parmesan cheese, shaved with a vegetable peeler

Store in a jar and refrigerate until time to use. (Will keep for 2 weeks in the refrigerator.)

 

Heat a grill pan or light a grill, that has been sprayed with cooking spray or wiped with vegetable oil.

Add watermelon slices and grill about 2 minutes on each side to produce grill marks.

While watermelon grills, line salad plates with arugula.

Top arugula with grilled watermelon slices.

Top watermelon slices with Parmesan cheese and chopped pistachios.
