Grilled Watermelon and Steak Salad with Ginger and Sesame Dressing

25 minutes | easy | Serves 2

This vibrant salad combines tender grilled sirloin steak with juicy watermelon, which chars well on the barbecue. This salad is completed with a zingy dressing made with lots of fresh ginger, bird’s eye chilli and lime juice. It’s a dish that’s really big on flavour and is a great way to use watermelon in the warmer months.
