Watermelon with Mint Zabaglione
A favorite summer fruit, watermelon takes on an unexpected flavor profile when grilled. Mint-flavored zabaglione transforms the fruit from a backyard barbecue staple into a dressed-up southern Italian showstopper. At the height of the season, substitute honeydew melon or cantaloupe for the watermelon.
