These Cucumber Watermelon Feta Mint Bites are a vegetarian appetizer with cucumber, watermelon, and feta all with a mint lime dijon dressing.
Being a vegetarian can be tricky when you go to a party or over to a friends house for dinner.
It’s even more tricky when you have a lot of food allergies like I do.
The host/hostess always seems in a panic and so I always offer to bring a few dishes to the event.
Not because I don’t trust the person cooking it’s because I’ve been through it so many times.
If you are going to a party the vegetarian options are almost the same three things:
Chips and salsa.
I’m allergic to most of the ingredients in salsa.
Caprese Salad.
I’m allergic to tomatoes.
And hummus.
That I can eat.
But you do grow tired of the same three things.
I saw this recipe in Cuisine at Home Magazine this month and was super excited to try it.
We have already made it three times.
Though after the first time we ended up just chopping it all up and making a salad since it’s just us.
These Cucumber Watermelon Feta Mint Bites are a perfect summer appetizer/salad.
The cucumber and watermelon make it super refreshing.
The feta gives it a salty element.
Tangy and minty dressing that has lime, mint, Dijon, and honey in it.
I highly recommend making these for your vegetarian (and non-vegetarian) friends.
They will absolutely love the change of pace.
It’s a great day to order my cookbook.
