Today, I am making a beautiful appetizer using watermelon as the base and garnishing with feta cheese, pistachios and mint. So simple, yet very elegant. It will delight even the fussiest of foodies. It has become my favourite summer appetizer this year.
It’s super easy to make and there is no cooking required. Simply slice the watermelon in thin rectangular (or square) pieces and garnish with the toppings. That’s it! You’re done. I love appetizers like this one. Â
This watermelon appetizer is naturally gluten free, and has no refined sugars. Simply omit cheese or use dairy free cheese for a plant based/vegan option.

How to Store this Watermelon with Feta Mint & PistachioÂ
Watermelon doesn’t keep well. But if you have leftovers, store watermelon on a plate covered with plastic wrap or in a glass container. Must be kept in the fridge. Should be eaten within a day or two at most. Do not freeze.Â
