Enjoy the vibrant sweet & savory combination of cantaloupe melon, zucchini, Greek feta with this is easy melon & zucchini carpaccio.
This melon and zucchini carpaccio is a fantastic light starter, it takes no more than 10 minutes to make and gives a super tangy, fresh and juicy crunch in the mouth. I love how the contrasting flavors complement one another beautifully, bringing out an unusual delicious dish.
This is one of the easiest appetizer recipes I've ever made, all you need is five ingredients: crumbled Greek feta, thinly sliced zucchini and cantaloupe melon, fresh baby mint leaves and a glug of organic Extravirgin olive oil.
You don't need any fancy accessory to make the thin zucchini and melon slices, a good old-school peeler is good enough.
Simply slice the zucchini lengthwise, cut in half a cantaloupe and remove all the seeds and peel, then with the help of a peeler cut into thin slices.
Once your veg&fruit are ready, simply plate them in a nice dish and decorate with crumbled feta, baby mint leaves, and a glug of organic extra-virgin olive oil.
Simple yet impressive, this melon & zucchini carpaccio is one of my favorite Spring and Summer vegetarian appetizers. It makes a well-balanced quick lunch even when you're in a hurry during the week.
