Cool, Crisp, and Very Yummy: Watermelon Feta Bites

June 16, 2015   4 Comments

I don’t know about you, but I am hot! A heat wave here in Massachusetts made me feel like the Wicked Witch of The West.

“I’m meltinggggg........” I look like her too - flying around my neighborhood on my broomstick.

Using the kitchen is just torture, so I am looking for recipes that don’t use the stove. Check out these Watermelon Feta Bites.

I managed to put just 20 calories of feta cheese on to a hunk of watermelon and created a taste explosion. And, you get to use toothpicks!

My husband called these a “taste explosion” and I immediately thought of Doritos. With just 3 ingredients instead of 33, I think my taste explosion is much better for you.

You get the cold sweet watermelon contrasted with the salty feta - yum! If you have some basil, you will add another dimension of flavor that will include a licorice like taste.

I have used feta with watermelon before in a salad, but the watermelon tends to get soggy. Here they remain separate and you don’t have to worry about yucky soggy watermelon.
