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.

Watermelon Feta Bites

“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.

Here are some other of my favorite watermelon recipes:

I love these bites... I don't bother with the basil.. but these are very good for a snack - or a light meal. Does anyone have suggestions on how to slice the block of feta to get those nice slices you have in the photo? I've tried different knives and techniques but the feta crumbles. Only about half the slices come out whole. What am I doing wrong?

I buy fat free feta that is really good. It comes in crumbles but I think they would work fine with watermelon. I don't eat hot food in the summer and this sounds perfect.

These are also great w/balsamic vinegar drizzled over the top! Yet another explosion of flavor!

I am also wondering about how to slice the feta so nicely!

What is your secret, Snack Girl?
