Description

A great 4th of July appetizer that includes harvests of the month – watermelon, jalapeño, and mint! It’s a cacophony in your mouth of watery, sweet, and spicy (POP!) with a bite of umami from the pepperoni or cheese, and then a splash of honey sweetness with hint of minty freshness. Try these with friends for the 4th of July!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cube watermelon
  • 1 slice pepperoni (optional: 1/4 oz. Toscano Parmasean and Sharp Cheddar Cheese)
  • 1/8 teaspoon of honey
  • 1 thin slice jalapeño
  • Pinch of mint, finely minced

Instructions

  1. Place one round of pepperoni (or – 1/4 inch slice of cheese) on a watermelon cube
  2. Top with a thin jalapeño slice (remove seeds to avoid extra spicy kick)
  3. Drizzle lightly with honey
  4. Sprinkle with mint.
  5. Serve immediately
