Watermelon and Cheese Appetizers or Snacks
This is Thriving With Health's kind of recipe that I like to call a 'kiss' recipe meaning keeping it super simple. This tasty treat is just that! This can be a snack or an appetizer that is great to serve on hot summer days. All you need is cubed watermelon, some creamy goat cheese and some pistachios to garnish on top and that's it.
Easy, Peasy & So Yummy😋
Watermelon and Goat Cheese Appetizers
Time: 5 minutes
Servings: This will depend on the size of your watermelon and the size of your cubes that you cut
Ingredients*
1 watermelon cut into approzimately 1 - 2 inch cubes
4 - 8 oz of spreadable goat cheese**
**Note: if lactose intolerant make sure your goat cheese is 100% goat's milk and not combined with dairy so be sure to check the label.
1/2+ cup shelled whole pistachios raw or roasted, salted or unsalted whatever you prefer
Optional
Thinly sliced or chopped red onion for additional flavor
Salad dressing of choice for dipping. Vinaigrettes are great!
*Please use organic ingredients when available.
Directions
Roll up small dollops of goat cheese and place on the watermelon cube or you can spread the cheese on top if time permits. If the cheese is too crumbly or challenging to spread, you can heat it up either in a double broiler or in the microwave until it becomes spreadable but be careful it doesn't burn.
Top each cube with 1 or more pistachios depending on the size of the cube. Note: You could chop the nuts for a crunchier version.
Optional
Add thinly sliced or chopped red onion and drizzle your favorite salad dressing on top.
Balsamic vinaigrette is a delicious compliment❤️

About Me
My passion about health started in my teens when I first hand saw the effects of how illness can wreck havoc in a family growing up with parents who had serious health issues. I too struggled with losing weight & developed an eating disorder that I was able to heal by educating myself on healthier habits. It’s amazing what our bodies can do when we learn to take care of them like God intended. These experiences & challenges fueled my passion to be a life long student in pursuit of learning how to create healthier lifestyles where one can thrive at their optimal best. As a mother of 3 children & a wife of a traveling husband, I quickly learned how to implement healthy habits on the go so that I could be my healthy best for my family. This has evolved into my health coaching business Thriving With Health where I coach people to integrate simple & fun healthy 'bites’ throughout their day even on their most busiest & challenging ones. You are never too busy to take care of your health & I can show you how. Everyone has busy lifestyles and living at their optimum best is not only doable but can be fun as well!
