Watermelon and Feta Cheese Appetizers.
As the temperature hits 30 degrees its time to turn off the heat and find ways to savor the flavor of Summer. What is more quintessential than Watermelon? Paired with Feta cheese and you’re sure to make a lot of people happy. Just looking at these little bites is enough to make you feel cool all over. The best part is the ease of preparation for a busy hostess.
Two Food Nuts Recipe:
- 1 small seedless Watermelon
- I brick Feta cheese ( you can go low fat here without sacrificing taste)!
- Baby Basil leaves
- Balsamic vinegar. (we were able to find Balsamic Vinegar infused with Black Truffles)
- Wooden pics
Cut the watermelon in half and scoop out balls with a melon-baller. Cut the cheese in generous 1 1/2 inch pieces about 1/4 inch thick. Place cheese pieces on a pretty serving tray, add the tiny Basil leaves, top with a watermelon ball and skewer it all together with a decorative pic. All that’s left is to receive the compliments when the guests take their first bite! Cook’s Tip: There are great little shops in most towns that specialize in fine Italian foods. We love to go to the St Lawerence Market or Kensington Market in Toronto, but Little Italy also provides great stores featuring Italian products. We just love the Balsamic that we found in one of these places, we just can’t remember which one! There are also fine Balsamics infused with Raspberry or Figs that would work equally well in this recipe. Be brave, try something new.
