Summertime is the time when food and snacks need to be both light and refreshing.  Currently, we are not at that time.  It’s hovering in 30s outside as I speak.  So, you may be asking, why am I posting a summery dish.  Because it’s nice to have a little taste of Summer, when it doesn’t feel like Summer.  My friend Lanie posted a picture of her very popular watermelon sliders on Facebook awhile back.  Initially, it was the beautiful presentation that drew me in, but when I started to think of all of the cheese lovers I’m surrounded by (I personally don’t love the stuff) and given how well this dish went over, I knew I’d have to try it out.  It’s an easy appetizer/snack to serve with zero cooking involved.  I got a little playful and served mine on the watermelon peel.

Watermelon Sliders

Ingredients:
1 Watermelon
2 blocks Feta Cheese
1 cup fresh Basil Leaves
1/2 cup Balsamic Vinegar

Directions:
1.  Using a large knife, cut away the watermelon peel; cut watermelon into 1 inch cubes
2.  Cut feta cheese into 1 inch cubes
3.  Place one basil leaf on top of a watermelon cube; place a feta cube and watermelon cube on top of the leaf to create a stack or slider
4.  Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the slider
5.  Push a toothpick through the slider to keep it from falling apart and serve!
