Watermelon Pizza
Watermelon pizza is super easy to make, and it's a great way to wow guests at your next summer party. All you need is a watermelon, some feta cheese, fresh mint, salt, and olive oil.
Makes: 16 slices
Cost: $15
Equipment
- Cutting board and knife
- Pizza Cutter
Ingredients
- 1 large seedless watermelon
- 4 to 6 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 handful fresh mint leaves
- Kosher salt or sea salt flakes
- Extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Using a large, super-sharp knife, cut the watermelon in half. Then, cut two 1-inch-thick rounds from the widest parts of the watermelon (one from the cut side of one half, and one from the cut side of the other half). These will be your "pizzas." Cut up the rest of the pumpkin and save it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for other uses.
- Place the watermelon rounds on a pretty serving board (with juice channels) or a large rimmed platter. (Avoid using a flat serving plate or board, since the watermelon will accumulate juice as it sits.) Cut each round of watermelon into 8 wedges. I used a pizza cutter for this, but you could also use the same knife from step 1 to save clean-up time.
- Sprinkle some crumbled feta cheese over each watermelon slice, then use kitchen shears to snip the mint leaves on top. (Or, slice the mint leaves with a knife and scatter them on top.)
- Season with salt (a pinch or two total should do it for all the slices), and drizzle with olive oil.
- Enjoy!
