Ingredients

  • 1 small seedless watermelon
  • 5 ounces feta cheese
  • ½ cup whipped cream cheese
  • 1 ripe lime, sliced thin
  • ¼ cup jalapeno, sliced thin
  • 2 ears sweet corn, grilled and removed from the cobb
  • 2 teaspoons Tajin spice, add to your liking
  • 1 cup cucumber, sliced thin
  • ½ cup avocado, sliced thin and removed from the skin
  • ¼ cup scallions, as garnish
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped fresh and sprinkled over the top

Equipment

  • 1 food processor
  • 1 platter

Instructions 

Slice the Watermelon

  • Slice the ends off of the watermelon and set it upright. Carefully slice the rind off. Cut the watermelon into thirds. Then, slice the third into evenly sized rectangles. Set aside.

Prepare the Whipped Feta and Vegetables

  • Next, you will grill your corn and remove the kernels from the cobb. Set aside. In a food processor, add the feta cheese and whipped cream cheese. Blend for 4-5 minutes until creamy and smooth, no lumps. Set aside. Slice your cucumber, lime, and jalapeno in thin slices. Set aside.

Assemble the Dish

  • Grab a serving platter and spread about 2/3 of the whipped feta on the bottom of the platter. Next, you’ll add the watermelon rectangles. Then, you’ll begin to layer the cucumber, jalapeno and lime slices, making sure to spread them across the entire platter.
  • Add the remaining whipped feta to the dish. I used a spoon to make small dollops over the fruit and vegetables. Top everything with the grilled corn kernels, sliced avocado, and chopped fresh scallions. Sprinkle the tajin spice over the entire dish. Serve immediately and enjoy!
