- Mint Magic: Evenly distribute the chopped mint leaves on top of the feta, adding a fresh and vibrant flavor.
- Season It Up: Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the watermelon pizzas and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if you want a spicy twist.
- Balsamic Glaze Finish: Finish by drizzling balsamic glaze over the top for a sweet and tangy touch that complements the watermelon beautifully.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice the watermelon “pizzas” into wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy this delightful and refreshing dish at your next gathering!
Tips
- For added texture, consider adding other toppings like sliced almonds, walnuts, or even a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness.
- If you’re preparing in advance, keep the watermelon slices and toppings separate until just before serving to maintain freshness.
