About this Recipe
By: Sheridan Rogers
I just love the combination of flavours – how the sweet juicy summer watermelon contrasts with salty fetta and fresh mint. For an added Turkish delight, try tossing the watermelon cubes in a little rosewater – heaven!
Ingredients
- seedless watermelon a small wedge of seedless watermelon, weighing about 750g (rind on)
- firm Greek fetta 250g
- fresh mint small bunch
- rosewater optional
Place the watermelon wedge flat on a chopping board and cut through the rind into 1.5cm slices. Trim the rind, then cut the flesh into 1.5cm cubes.
Cut the fetta into 1.5cm cubes. Thread a fetta cube onto a cocktail skewer, then a cube of watermelon.
Top each stick with a small mint leaf. Makes 40 – 45.
Note: for a Turkish delight, spray or roll the watermelon cubes in a little good quality rosewater.
