Watermelon, Mint and Feta Appetizer

Watermelon

If you have been to my house for a dinner party, you will know that I love appetizers and sides.  This watermelon, mint and feta appetizer is so refreshing and perfect for the hot summer gatherings and as you can see, it looks pretty impressive as well.

The hardest part about this appetizer is that you have to make sure the watermelon and feta are cut the same size.  Cutting the feta will be difficult as it may be break apart, while I didn’t do this, maybe next time I will put the feta in the freezer for 15 minutes prior to assembling the appetizer.

The other thing to think about in serving this appetizer is your toothpick size.  I would recommend using a thinner toothpick as the pretty bamboo ones are too thick and the feta will crack.

For the watermelon, cut the bottom off of one end as this will anchor the watermelon so it won’t wobble around when you are trying to cut into it

you only want the flesh of the watermelon so cut the watermelon into slices, remove the white and only use the pink flesh, cut the flesh into same size pieces, place into a bowl

for the feta, you want to do the same thing, cut it into same size pieces, place into a separate bowl than the watermelon

Just look at how beautiful this appetizer is…it’s gluten free and so refreshing for your party or gathering.  For my appetizer I don’t even drizzle oil or vinegar (some people like to add another touch to this appetizer, I like to keep it simple).  For your next summer gathering give my appetizer with watermelon, feta and mint a try.  Let me know what you think!
