Growing up by the Mediterranean Sea had naturally filled my childhood summers with beach and watermelon memories. Living minutes away from the beach made almost every summer day a beach day. Someone would grab the towels the other would grab the watermelon and off we would walk to the beach.
Watermelon is such an amazing fruit! I am CRAZY about watermelon. Texture, taste, and juiciness …it just has it all! Tell me, who doesn’t love a HUGE guy who is sooooo sweet?
“Summer lovin’ had me a blast…summer lovin’ happened so fast”…. Summer days or summer nights, this tasteful combo of Watermelon and Feta cheese is a must summer snack! So hurry up before summer is over…
You will need:
Watermelon
Feta Cheese
Olive Oil
Balsamic Vinegar reduction
Coarse Pink Salt
Mint Leaves
Let’s do this!
Start by cutting the watermelon into serving slices…
I like these triangle slices, but you can do what you like… cubes, mini balls …anything goes.
Feta is such a great cheese.
In this case, my preference is a Feta that has more moisture and that is a little more creamer. Israeli Feta is my absolute favorite!
Slice the Feta into thin slices.
Arrange the cheese slices between the watermelon ones…
Drizzle with just a little olive oil and a little balsamic reduction.
I used Fig balsamic vinegar reduction, it tastes great with the watermelon.
All that is left to do is to sprinkle with coarse pink salt and mint leaves.
It’s Summer Lovin’! I kinda think he is the watermelon and she is the cheese… 🙂 You?
