Description

Watermelon and goat cheese make a refreshing and tangy summer appetizer. No cooking required! You will need a small melon baller tool to make this pretty. Don’t have one? Just pipe the goat cheese on top. It’s really the terrific combination of simple flavors and fresh ingredients that you are after.

Ingredients

2 small Dulcinea watermelons (or 1 large regular watermelon)
6-8 ounces goat cheese
1-2 tablespoons of milk
1 Persian cucumber
A couple of limes

Directions

Wash watermelons well. Cut a thin slice off one side to give you a flat surface. Roll melon to flat side (which provides stability for cutting the melon) and cut 1″ wide pieces of watermelon. Lay pieces flat and using a 1 1/4″-1 1/2″ round or square cookie cutter, cut pieces of melon.
With the small end of a melon baller tool, cut little half rounds out of the center of the piece. Whip goat cheese and milk together until creamy. The amount you use will depend on your goat cheese. Place the cheese into a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe into the indentations. Garnish with a little slice of cucumber. Place on a flat plate, squeeze lime juice over the top and serve.
