Sweet or savoury? Two delicious ways to enjoy a watermelon pizza

In the mood for a watermelon pizza? Steffi has two delicious recipes for you, one is a treat for your sweet-tooth and the other packs a savoury punch.

When it’s hot outside there’s nothing better than sinking your teeth into refreshing watermelon! Whether you enjoy it as it is, in a smoothie or in a fruity watermelon and feta salad – the juicy fruit is an integral part of our summer menu. Now that summer is coming to an end, you should definitely try to enjoy watermelon as often as you can. To do so, we already shared five unusual watermelon recipes in our #FridayFive and today Steffi has one more for you – a watermelon pizza!  

Watermelon pizza: An Italian classic with a twist

My favourite watermelon snack is a watermelon pizza, topped with other fresh summer fruits. Not only is it a real eye-catcher, it also tastes deliciously refreshing and can be put together in no time at all.

By the way, the colourful watermelon is a real hit with children! My son Tom likes his watermelon pizza to be topped with yoghurt, raspberries and grated coconut. But the savoury version complete with olives and feta tastes just as great and is the perfect light snack in the afternoon or as a creative appetizer.

Today I’m going to show you how to make both sweet and savoury varieties of this fruity watermelon pizza. Here we go:

Sweet watermelon pizza

Preparation time: 10 minutes
Makes 4 pizzas

1 small watermelon

200g soft fruits (for example raspberries, blueberries, kiwi or mirabelle plums)

200g of Greek yogurt

Toppings of your choice (for example, edible flowers, coconut flakes, maple syrup, nuts or fresh herbs)

Cut the watermelon into slices of about 2 cm, then cut into 8 slices or quarters, depending on size.

If necessary, cut the fruit into bite-sized pieces.

Spread the melon pieces with the Greek yoghurt and cover them with the fruits and toppings.

Savoury watermelon pizza

Preparation time: 10 minutes
Makes 4 pizzas

1 small watermelon

20 black olives

50g feta

2 sprigs of mint

Cut the watermelon into slices of about 2 cm, then cut into 8 slices or quarters, depending on size.

Slice the olives, crumble the feta and cut the mint into small pieces.

Then layer the watermelon slices with the olives, feta and mint.
