Ingredients

Scale

  • 1/4 cup feta crumbles
  • 1 serrano pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup honey

Instructions

  1. Make the hot honey: add honey and serrano pepper to a small saucepan over medium high heat. Stir occasionally until just simmering then remove from heat and allow to cool completely. Strain out peppers and save for later use, or use them as a garnish!
  2. Toss watermelon and feta cheese in a large bowl. Transfer to a large plate or serving platter and drizzle with (cooled) hot honey. Garnish with torn mint leaves.

  • If you can’t find serrano peppers, you can sub in jalapeños or leave out altogether. 
  • Store leftover hot honey in a small jar for later use.
