Instructions

Prep the Ingredients: Wash the watermelon and cucumber thoroughly. Cut the watermelon into small cubes and slice the cucumber into ½-inch thick rounds to create a perfect base for the topping.
Mix: In a bowl, gently combine the watermelon cubes, cucumber slices, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped mint leaves. Drizzle freshly squeezed lime juice over the mixture to enhance and brighten the flavors.
Assemble: Arrange the cucumber rounds on a serving platter and spoon the watermelon, feta, and mint mixture on top of each slice to create individual cups.
Chill: Cover the assembled cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This chilling step allows the flavors to meld together and the appetizer to be served refreshingly cool.
Serve: Remove from the refrigerator just before serving and enjoy these light, flavorful watermelon cucumber feta cups as a perfect starter or snack.

Notes

For added crunch, sprinkle some toasted pine nuts or walnuts on top before serving.
This appetizer is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 4 hours before serving.
Use cold watermelon and cucumber for an extra refreshing taste.
For a vegan version, substitute the feta cheese with vegan feta or omit it entirely.
