Ingredients
Syrup:
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup agave nectar
Pinch kosher salt
Fruit:
Canola oil, for brushing grill
2 to 3 cups watermelon chunks (about 2-inch)
1 navel orange, peel removed with a knife, sliced into 1-inch-thick rounds
Assemble:
One 24-ounce container cottage cheese
Toasted almond slices, optional
Toasted pecans, hand-crushed, optional
Toasted walnuts, hand-crushed, optional
Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- Make the syrup. In a small pot, add the orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, agave nectar and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat until the liquid reduces and thickens, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Pour into a container and chill.
- Grill the fruit. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates or grill pan with a little bit of canola oil. Place the watermelon chunks and orange slices on the grill and grill until lightly charred and grill-marked, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove and let cool to room temp.
- Assemble the bowl. Add about 3/4 cup of cottage cheese to each serving bowl. Top with grilled watermelon and grilled orange. Top with the almonds, pecans and walnuts if using. Drizzle with the chilled syrup and sprinkle a grind of pepper on top. Serve.
