Ingredients are subject to availability at local stores. Unavailable items will be automatically substituted at best-effort.
Directions
- Prep the watermelon: Slice the watermelon into thick rounds (about 1 inch thick). Cut each round into large squares or triangles that will work as your “bread” slices.
- Build the base: Place one slice of watermelon on a serving plate. Top with a handful of arugula or fresh mint leaves.
- Add the toppings: Scatter crumbled feta cheese and thinly sliced red onion (or pickled onion for extra tang) over the greens.
- Drizzle and season: Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Top and press: Place another slice of watermelon on top to create the sandwich. Gently press down so the layers hold together.
- Serve immediately: Enjoy right away while the watermelon is cold and crisp. No fork required!
Pro Tips
- Chill the watermelon: Use cold watermelon straight from the fridge—it makes the sandwich extra refreshing.
- Pickled onion shortcut: If you have pickled red onions on hand, use them! They add a tangy pop that balances the sweetness perfectly.
- Herb swap: Not a mint fan? Basil or cilantro work beautifully too.
- Make it a meal: Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze or a sprinkle of chili flakes for an extra flavor kick.
