Print Recipe

A quick and refreshing summer snack combining juicy watermelon cubes with creamy feta cheese, enhanced by fresh herbs and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups seedless watermelon, cubed (about 600g)
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 150g)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon aged balsamic vinegar (optional)
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Sea salt, lightly sprinkled

Instructions

  1. Cut about 4 cups (600g) of seedless watermelon into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes, being careful not to press too hard to avoid soggy pieces.
  2. Crumble about 1 cup (150g) of feta cheese by hand or with a fork to get a crumbly texture.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, gently toss the watermelon cubes with crumbled feta, chopped fresh mint, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and a splash of aged balsamic vinegar if using. Add freshly ground black pepper and sea salt to taste. Be gentle to keep watermelon intact.
  4. If time allows, let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes at room temperature to let flavors meld (optional).
  5. Arrange the bites on a serving platter or divide into small plates. Garnish with extra mint leaves or a few twists of black pepper before serving.

Notes

Use a serrated knife for clean watermelon cuts. Serve immediately or keep chilled and toss gently before serving to maintain freshness. Optional additions include toasted pine nuts or walnuts for crunch, and fresh basil or cilantro as herb alternatives. For a vegan version, substitute feta with plant-based cheese or marinated tofu.
