These fresh melon cups with feta and mint are light, colorful and very quick to assemble. They bring together sweet melon, creamy feta and fresh herbs for an easy summer appetizer.
Cut the melon in half and remove the seeds. Use a melon baller to scoop small round pieces, or cut the flesh into neat cubes if you prefer a simpler presentation.
Place the melon in a bowl. Add the lemon juice, olive oil and a little black pepper. Mix gently so the pieces stay clean and attractive.
Crumble the feta into small pieces. Divide the melon between small glasses or cups, then add the feta and thinly sliced mint leaves. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.
Refrigerate the cups for 15 to 20 minutes before serving. Avoid preparing them too early, as melon releases juice over time.
Fresh melon cups with feta and mint are simple, elegant and refreshing. They are ideal when you need a quick starter that feels bright, light and perfect for summer.
