Hello lovelies, as soon as the first warm days arrive, this watermelon feta guacamole appears on our table. It's my favourite summer dip when things need to be quick yet still delight everyone: creamy avocado meets juicy, sweet watermelon cubes and salty feta. Nothing is cooked here – just chopped, crumbled and gently folded together. In a quarter of an hour, a fresh classic with a summery twist is ready to serve.
The base is ripe avocado, which I put into a large bowl together with finely chopped red onion, a squeeze of lime juice and a little olive oil. The feta is crumbled over the top by hand, along with salt and pepper to taste. Unlike classic guacamole, I don't mash the avocado but leave it nicely chunky – that keeps the dip fresh and light.
I fold the watermelon in only at the very end so it doesn't release too much water. Then come roughly chopped pistachios for a crunchy bite and finely sliced mint for a fresh, herby note. A few gentle turns with the spoon, and the salty-sweet combination is ready – it always has everyone coming back for more.
Serve it right away – ideally with freshly toasted pita bread, crusty baguette or tortilla chips. As an appetizer or a side at a barbecue, it's a real showstopper and gone in minutes.
If you love fresh dips like this, be sure to try my Mediterranean guacamole, my creamy Mediterranean avocado dip and my fruity papaya salsa too – together they make a colourful summer spread where nothing ever gets left behind.
