Watermelon canape with feta cheese

Lightly salted cheese is in perfect harmony with the sweet pulp of watermelon. Decorate canapes with chili pepper rings for piquancy, chopped nuts and basil leaves. For extra flavor, season with freshly ground black pepper and olive oil.

Ingredients

• Watermelon - 500 g
• Feta cheese - 200 g
• Fresh basil (green) - 10 g

Directions

1. Prepare all ingredients. Take a ripe, juicy and tasty watermelon.

3. Wash and dry the watermelon, chili, basil and mint.
4. Carefully cut the feta cheese into cubes with a side of 3 cm. I got 12 cubes.
5. Clean the watermelon from the peel and seeds. Cut the pulp into cubes the same size as the cheese (preferably the watermelon and feta cubes are the same size).
6. Choose a flat dish to serve.
7. Lay out the watermelon pieces.
8. On top of the watermelon, add the cubes of feta cheese, matching the edges.
9. Cut the chili pepper into rings according to the number of canapes.
