Description
A refreshing and unique Watermelon Feta Sandwich that combines the sweet juiciness of watermelon with the salty creaminess of feta cheese, topped with a tangy splash of Tajín and optional balsamic glaze and fresh herbs for a perfect summer snack or appetizer.
Ingredients
Scale
Watermelon
- 1/2 watermelon, sliced crosswise
- Tajín, to taste
Cheese
- 1 block feta cheese, sliced into thin pieces
Optional Garnishes
- Balsamic glaze, for drizzling
- Fresh mint or basil, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Watermelon: Using a round-shaped cookie or biscuit cutter, cut the watermelon into circular slices. Alternatively, cut into squares or triangles if preferred. Arrange the watermelon pieces on a plate or serving platter and sprinkle with Tajín seasoning to taste.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Place a slice of feta cheese on top of half of the watermelon pieces. If the feta crumbles, simply break it into pieces and evenly distribute it over the watermelon. Top each with another watermelon piece to create a sandwich.
- Add Finishing Touches: Sprinkle additional Tajín seasoning over the assembled sandwiches. Drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired. Garnish with fresh mint or basil leaves to add a fresh, green contrast to the vibrant flavors.
- Serve: Keep the sandwiches chilled until ready to serve. Enjoy as a light snack, appetizer, or refreshing summer treat.
Notes
- Tajín adds a spicy, tangy flavor but can be omitted or replaced with chili powder for a different heat profile.
- Use a ripe, sweet watermelon for the best flavor contrast with the salty feta.
- Balsamic glaze is optional but adds a lovely sweet and tangy depth to the sandwich.
- Fresh herbs like mint or basil complement the flavors and add a pleasant aroma.
- Keep the sandwiches refrigerated until serving to maintain freshness and prevent the watermelon from becoming too soft.
