There once was a man with a melon
Who had an idea worth sellin’.
It took him some bravery,
But he made the thing savory
And got all the picky folks yellin’.

I won't deny that my first thought was "but it's not April 1st"

Just eating some cubed watermelon with Feta and basil/mint is refreshing and delicious! You can just use a little salt. No olives required if they're not your jam.

"Intense flavor profile" was my nickname in High School.

I'm egyptian, and in egypt it's pretty popular to eat a White cheese with watermelon. But we usually eat the cheese with bread, like taking a bite from White cheese on a peace of bread and a bite of watermelon.

I'll be honest with you, chef John has so much credit with me that I am actually giving this a try soon. There is no other person or cooking channel that could make me think this is something good.

I put Watermelon in my salad with feta, roasted sunflower and Pumpkin seeds 🤷🏻‍♀️. When i worked at this hotel back home in germany our chef made watermelon soup in the summer it was served cold and so delicious and refreshing but i have no idea how they made it. They also made strawberry soup 😋😋.
Uhhhh balsamic glaze would top this pizza off very nice

While people in USA are eating pizza with pineapple we people in Greece are eating watermelon with Feta

[oohehoohahahtingtang]

The World : Pineapple on pizza is evil
Chef John : I changed the dough for Watermelon
*Everyone liked that*
Me : wat

After all, you are the Mona Lisa of your watermelon pizza.

I just ate it with my girlfriend for lunch and it was amazing!!!
The first bite was a bit confusing but once you get going its soo great. Really this cannot be done without the feta-melon-olive trinity. I think the mint should be added in small amounts and personally i like a bit more pepper, but thats personal.

Really if you are on the fence if you should try this do it! Its soo easy to make, only takes like 10minutes.
10/10 Chef, thanks!

“Older undeveloped 🧠 brain “. 😂. Brilliant

[horatioswrld]

This is one of those easy “wow” dishes that I kind a wish doesn’t go viral so my friends will think I’m just a genius.

[thetherapist]

Nearly everyone: Pineapple on pizza? GROSS
Chef John: *Hold my beer*

[NE-BO]

When someone comes up to me and say they can't cook, I'll show them this video

[SM-Flyers]

Quite honestly the feta and mint on the watermelon is all that is needed to make this a wonderful dish!

Someone once said: "The worst part of a watermelon tastes like the best part of a cucumber." and while I disagree with the whole "best/worst part" thing, I kinda get the greek salad vibe this dish is going for.

Mark me down as skeptical, yet open-minded.

This is why people should give things a chance. Don’t judge a book by its cover. Watermelon and feta is pretty good
