The watermelon sandwich: a fresh and surprising recipe that's got TikTok buzzing!
Two slices of watermelon as bread, with a fresh, salty heart: this viral idea from the internet is well worth a look...
Replace bread with watermelon for a sandwich that's as light as it is thirst-quenching
We've been seeing this recipe all over TikTok: a ripe watermelon, cut into thick slices, becomes the base for a breadless sandwich.
What's inside? Arugula, feta or mozzarella cheese, cherry tomatoes, fresh herbs, sometimes a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
The first croc surprises with its contrast: the sweet juiciness of the fruit against the salty mellowness of the cheese. And against all odds, the balance works. You end up with a kind of compact, playful summer salad that can be eaten by hand. A real breath of fresh air.
A TikTok trend that surfs on fresh, creative alternatives
This fruity sandwich is part of a broader wave on TikTok: that of light, fast recipes, often without bread. After the "cucumber sandwich" and the "cottage cheese pizza", watermelon has become the new star.
The hashtag #WatermelonSandwich is full of variations: grilled halloumi, homemade pesto, seeds, fresh mint...
The creators recognize its limitations - it slips, it sinks - but all agree on the pleasure of tasting it: visual, surprising, refreshing, and perfect for summer days.
A fun idea for a brunch, aperitif or summer picnic
It's not a classic sandwich, that's true. It requires a little dexterity, a lot of napkins, and is no substitute for a good club on the fly. But for an original brunch, an aperitif with friends or even a cooking workshop with the kids, the surprise effect is guaranteed.
You can vary the toppings according to your inspiration: watermelon + feta + mint for a Greek taste, or mozzarella + tomato + basil in fruity Caprese style. A recipe that doesn't take itself too seriously, but reinvents our gourmet breaks with freshness.
Fancy an ultra-fresh, original sandwich? This watermelon , feta and arugula sandwich replaces bread with juicy slices of watermelon, for a 100% summer version :) It's the viral recipe that's taking social networks by storm, and it's easy to see...
