Watermelon and Seasoning
- 1/2 watermelon, sliced crosswise
- Tajín, to taste
Cheese
- 1 block feta cheese, sliced into thin pieces
Optional Garnishes
- Balsamic glaze, for drizzling (optional)
- Fresh mint or basil leaves, for garnish (optional)
- Cut the Watermelon: Using a round cookie or biscuit cutter, create round watermelon slices. You may also cut the watermelon into squares or triangles if preferred. Arrange the pieces on a serving platter and sprinkle with Tajín according to your taste.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Place a slice of feta cheese on top of half of the watermelon rounds. The feta can crumble slightly; just ensure each watermelon piece has an adequate cheese topping.
- Complete and Garnish: Place another watermelon round atop the feta to form a sandwich. Add extra Tajín or a drizzle of balsamic glaze if desired. Garnish with fresh mint or basil leaves to add a refreshing green touch. Keep chilled until serving.
Notes
- To make the watermelon cutting easier, chill the fruit well before slicing.
- Tajín adds a tangy and slightly spicy flavor, but you can adjust the amount or omit it if you prefer milder seasoning.
- Balsamic glaze adds sweetness and acidity, complementing the watermelon and feta wonderfully—optional based on taste.
- Serve immediately after assembly or keep refrigerated to maintain freshness.
- This recipe is perfect as a light snack or appetizer, especially on warm days.
