10 Ways To Prepare The Tastiest Vegetable In The World

The combination of watermelon and feta has long been a popular culinary classic. Especially the watermelon and feta salad offers a welcome refreshment on hot summer days. We’ve tweaked the recipe a bit and turned it into a handy finger food with our watermelon and feta bites.

Watermelon & Feta Bites: The Star of Your Barbecue

These watermelon and feta bites are a snap to eat and quick to prepare too. If you’re planning a barbecue, they’re the ideal snack. You only need six ingredients to make your guests happy. How often can you say that? Let’s get started!

Start by giving your sliced bread a good toast, the crispier the better. Then, cut the toast into four equal pieces. Now, cub the watermelon so that it is the same size as your toast squares. After, cut your cucumber into thin slices and feta into cubes. Make sure to set aside some of the feta to top the watermelon cubes with later.

Once all the ingredients are prepared, you can assemble the bites. First take a piece of toast, place a cucumber slice on top, then a piece of feta and finally the watermelon. Crumble the remaining feta and spread it evenly over the watermelon. Now for the final touch: Season with some pepper and a mint leaf for a fresh twist. All that’s left is an appetizer skewer to make sure these apps don’t fall apart! Enjoy!

You’ve gotta give some love to sides! They add a certain sparkle to each event, like our asparagus & potato salad and homemade herb baguettes. Likewise our grilled feta packets are really delectable!
