Watermelon is undoubtedly the summer king of fruits in Greece, often served as a dessert in taverns. This remarkable fruit rejuvenates and detoxifies the body. It’s also delightful as a juice or in a cocktail. The sweetest watermelons come from the western Peloponnese, and Greece is among the leading watermelon producers, exporting significant quantities to Europe, alongside Mexico, Morocco, and Spain.
You may not think to serve sweet watermelon with salty feta cheese, but the combination is actually quite tasty and refreshing. It is also a Greek favorite in the summer and is eaten as a snack or a light meal. This variation includes paper-thin slices of red onion and a touch of balsamic vinegar to turn this fabulous taste combination into something truly memorable.
