Ingredients

  • 2 packages Love BEETs mild vinegar beets, 13 ounces
  • 5 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • ½ cup whipped cream cheese
  • 1 small seedless watermelon, about the size of a cantaloupe
  • 3 tablespoons pistachios, crushed

Equipment

  • 1 food processor
  • 1 platter
  • 1 cookie cutter - optional

Instructions 

  • Remove the rind from the watermelon. Cut it into thick 2-inch slices. Using a circular cookie cutter, cut the melon into rings. I was able to get about 7-8 rings from my melon. Any extra melon can be cut up and eaten separately.
  • Next, grab your food processor. Combine the feta cheese and whipped cream cheese. Blend for 4-5 minutes until smooth and creamy, no lumps. Be sure to scrape down the sides as needed. Set aside.

Assemble the Salad

  • Grab a large platter and spread the whipped feta on the bottom of the platter. Layer the watermelon and sliced beets on top of the whipped feta. Top with the crushed pistachios and serve!
