@sylva.alexia HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!!! Watermelon Diaries Watermelon chips with yogurt/feta dip These three ingredients of watermelon, yogurt and feta cheese are coveted Eastern Mediterranean ingredients. It comes together in minutes and the taste is joyous for all ages. The watermelon becomes the chips or the toast to pick the spread. Imagine the fun during hot summer months around the pool or in your living room. I usually cut the watermelon in long skinny strips, this makes dipping in the spread much easily and creating a finger food. Half a watermelon red and refrigerated (seedless optional) 6 ounce feta cheese removed from brine plus quarter cup crumbled. 1 lemon zest 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt 3 TBS olive oil and a bit more for drizzling 1 TBS Aleppo pepper 4 TBS chopped fresh mint and few more leaves as garnish 4 TBS Dry roasted crushed pistachios (optional or any other nuts you prefer) LINK IN BIO, WEBSITE FOR FULL RECIPE #watermelon #watermelonsalad #feta #fetasalad #greekyogurt #summervibes #summerrecipe #fypage #easyrecipe #easyrecipes #foryou #foryoupage #thalassarestaurant #thalassaolive #vegetarian #partytime @Food Network @Whole Foods Market ♬ original sound - Sylva Alexia
@sylva.alexia SUMMER WATERMELON DIARIES 🍉🌞🌻👙🏊♀️🚴♀️ Watermelons are synonym to childhood in every Eastern Mediterranean home. This simple fruit have been cultivated for thousands of years. Grown in hot summer months with strong skin, inside juicy and aromatic heaven. My childhood memories are full of watermelon summers. I remember Beirut, the watermelons were sold on wooden carriages, pushing the cart in neighborhoods. The vendor will call out loudly and everyone will gather to pickup their watermelon of the day. It was not uncommon for the vendor to use a knife and make a small triangular cut so the buyer can see inside.. I always love how my childhood was painted with so many a little stories around food. Ingredients: Watermelon cubes (2 LBS) 1 English cucumber 3 TBS unblanched sunflower seeds freshly roasted. 2-3 TBS fresh lemon juice 3 TBS olive oil 1 TBS orange blossom Salt to taste ¼ cup Fresh mint WEBSITE FOR FULL RECIPE #watermelon #summer #saladsoftiktok #saladrecipe #fruit #pinenuts #arabfood #beirut #thirstquencher #healthy #healthyrecipes ♬ original sound - Sylva Alexia
