Sliced Watermelon w/ Feta & Mint

By Catherine Murray

Plates of sliced watermelon topped with feta, fresh mint, black pepper, and drizzled olive oil.

Fresh, cooling, sweet and salty, this dish is the perfect appetizer (or dessert!) for a summer meal.

Depending on the size of watermelon, this recipe could make up to 20 servings. If the watermelon is especially large, either double up on the number of slices per serving or reserve some watermelon for another use.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Serves: 15-20 (appetizer style)

Recipe preparation with watermelon, feta cheese, fresh mint, black pepper, and Calivirgin Premium extra virgin olive oil.

Ingredients

  • 1 small seedless watermelon
  • 16 oz. feta
  • 1 large bunch fresh mint
  • 6 tbsp Calivirgin olive oil
  • freshly ground black pepper
Sliced watermelon topped with feta cheese, fresh mint, cracked black pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.

Directions

  1. Cut the watermelon in half long ways twice (to make quarters), then slice each quarter into 1 ½ inch slices. Place each slice flat onto individual plates.
  2. Cut the feta into ¼ inch thick slices to cover about half the width of the watermelon slices. Top each watermelon slice with a slice of feta.
  3. Sprinkle with black pepper and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Top with a sprig of mint.
  4. Can be eaten with a fork, or by hand!
