Watermelon makes a great substitute for tomatoes in this watermelon guacamole recipe — plus the rind is too cute not to use as a serving bowl. The sweetness of the watermelon tastes great with the spicy jalapeño and creamy avocado. It’s something a little different for your summertime party spread.
Watermelon feta guacamole
Ingredients
- 9 ripe avocados, pitted
- 1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

- 2 cups diced watermelon
- Salt
- Pepper
- 1 cup feta cheese crumbles (the jalapeño variety if you can find it), divided
- And don’t forget tortilla chips for serving!
Directions

- Sprinkle extra feta on top for serving.
- Serve with chips.
