Looking for a refreshing twist on your usual salad or smoothie? This hydrating, sweet-and-salty “sandwich” is the ultimate summer bite—fresh, light, and totally unexpected.
Ingredients (Serves 2–4):
Watermelon slices (½ inch thick, about 3 x 3 inches)
Block of sheep’s milk feta, sliced
Persian cucumber, thinly sliced
Fresh basil leaves
Optional: balsamic glaze or cracked black pepper
Instructions:
Cut two matching slices of watermelon for each sandwich.
Layer with cucumber slices, a slice of feta, and basil leaves.
Top with the second watermelon slice.
Add a drizzle of balsamic or a sprinkle of pepper, if you like.
Serve chilled.
Simple. Stunning. Summer on a plate.
