Something magical happens when you combine juicy watermelon with roasted corn, salty feta cheese, fresh crab, and creamy ranch. The taste is decidedly summery, reminiscent of a flip-flop clad New England barbecue.

Shopping List
- 1 head of romaine
- 6 ounces jumbo lump crab meat (for substitutes, see Note 1)
- 2 cups seedless watermelon, diced

- 1 ear of corn (Note 2)
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped (optional)

Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the husks from the corn, dot with a little optional butter, and then wrap the corn in foil. Roast the corn for 20 minutes on a baking sheet. Once cooked, unwrap the corn and use a sharp knife the slice the kernels from the cob.

Recipe Notes
Note 1: Crab meat is fantastic in this, but can get pricey. As a budget alternative, substitute by dicing an equivalent amount of pre-cooked chopped shrimp. Note 2: Every 1 ear of corn is equal to about 1 cup. If fresh corn is unavailable, use a frozen or canned variety.
