Summer Watermelon Salad Bites
15 minServes 6–8
There are only so many days of summer … celebrate them ALL! These Summer Watermelon Salad bites provide a blend of unexpected flavors that combine to say SUMMER!
Ingredients
- Organic watermelon
- Tiny bit of Ricotta Salata
- Fresh mint leaves
- Juice from half a lemon — preferably a Meyer lemon
- Fresh ground pepper, to taste
Instructions
- 1Slice watermelon into one-to-two-bite bits (squares, circles, or whatever you like — use cookie cutters if you're feeling fun) and arrange on a platter.
- 2Squeeze Meyer lemon over the watermelon. Some will remain on the plate — that's fine, the watermelon will soak it up.
- 3Place a mint leaf and a tiny bit of Ricotta Salata on each watermelon bite — seriously, a small bit. You want this to be a little salty, but not have the cheese overwhelm the mint and watermelon.
- 4Grind just a bit of pepper over all of it, and serve!
Jennifer's tip
The Ricotta Salata is key — it's salty and firm, not creamy like regular ricotta. A tiny amount is all you need. Don't substitute feta; the flavor is completely different.
