I love watermelon. If you read my blog, you also know I love watermelon salad. I make it by cutting chunks of watermelon and cheese (usually Feta), drizzling it with some extra virgin olive oil and adding cracked black pepper and basil. Yum!
Inspired by a local restaurant, today I am showing you how I give my watermelon salad an upgrade by turning it into a fancier ‘watermelon sandwich.’
I do this by cutting 2 ½” rounds from watermelon slices using a cookie cutter. I use the same cutter to cut a circle of mozzarella. I drizzle the ‘sandwich’ I have created with extra virgin olive oil and add some cracked black pepper. As garnish, I sprinkle crumbled Feta cheese on top and add chopped basil and walnuts. The finished ‘sandwich’ is just soooo tasty!
The same great watermelon salad I always enjoy, but a much ‘fancier’ version! It is the perfect size and presentation to use as a first course for your next dinner party!
With the great weather ahead – the perfect time to enjoy watermelon – I hope you will consider serving this winning dish to your guests!
