A quick and refreshing summer snack featuring watermelon slices topped with crumbled feta cheese, fresh mint, and a drizzle of olive oil. Perfect for light, celebratory gatherings with a sweet and savory flavor contrast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large seedless watermelon, sliced into 1-inch thick rounds
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, loosely packed and torn
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Pinch or two of flaky sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon lime or lemon zest (optional)
  • Optional garnishes: sliced black olives, thinly sliced red onion, toasted pine nuts

Instructions

  1. Chill the whole watermelon in the fridge for at least 2 hours before slicing.
  2. Using a sharp knife, cut the watermelon into 1-inch thick rounds, then cut each round into 6 or 8 wedges like pizza slices (about 10 minutes).
  3. Rinse fresh mint leaves, pat dry, and tear or roughly chop into smaller pieces (2-3 minutes).
  4. Crumble the feta cheese into small chunks or fine pieces.
  5. Arrange watermelon wedges on a serving platter.
  6. Drizzle each slice lightly with extra virgin olive oil.
  7. Sprinkle crumbled feta generously over each watermelon slice, followed by fresh mint pieces.
  8. Season with a pinch or two of flaky sea salt and a light grind of black pepper.
  9. Add optional lime or lemon zest and garnishes like sliced olives, red onion rings, or toasted pine nuts if desired.
  10. Serve immediately for best freshness and flavor. If needed, cover loosely and refrigerate up to 1 hour.

Notes

Chill the watermelon before slicing to keep it firm and refreshing. Add fresh mint just before serving to prevent wilting. Drizzle olive oil after slicing to avoid slippery slices. Blot watermelon slices if too juicy before adding toppings to prevent sogginess. Best eaten fresh within 1-2 hours.
