Grilled watermelon...disgusting

Sounds great, right? Nope! I thought a grilled watermelon and corn salad with some feta and mint, dressed up with a little sherry vinegar sounded like a nice summer side for a spicy grilled chicken sandwich, but I could not have been more wrong. It completely loses its sweetness, and the texture is more like squash than fruit. Keep that watermelon raw, my friends. Fortunately I had enough extra uncooked melon that I could toss the results of this unholy experiment and salvage the salad.

The chicken was dope, though. Thighs basted with a glaze of fresh-squeezed orange juice + zest, chipotles + adobo, honey, and a whole bunch of tajin. No pics unfortunately.
