Fresh Watermelon Pizza

Healthy Fact of the Day

Watermelon is not only refreshing but also nutritious. It's low in calories and high in vitamins A and C, as well as lycopene, an antioxidant that may help reduce the risk of certain cancers and support heart health.

Ingredients

 

  • 1 large round watermelon slice, about 1-inch thick
  • 4 oz crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, torn
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 2 tbsp balsamic glaze
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup pistachios, roughly chopped
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

 

Instructions

  1. Cut the large watermelon slice into 8 wedges, like a pizza.

  2. Arrange the watermelon wedges on a large, circular serving platter in a pizza shape.

  3. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the watermelon.

  4. Scatter the thinly sliced red onion over the feta.

  5. Distribute the torn mint and basil leaves across the “pizza”.

  6. Drizzle the balsamic glaze and olive oil over the watermelon and toppings.

  7. Sprinkle the chopped pistachios over everything.

  8. Finish with a light dusting of freshly ground black pepper.

  9. Serve immediately, encouraging guests to pick up slices as they would a regular pizza.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

Juneteenth has a beautiful food tradition worth knowing about — the holiday is historically associated with red foods including hibiscus tea, red velvet cake, watermelon, and red beans, a tradition rooted in West African foodways that carried through generations of Black American culture. Many of these traditional Juneteenth foods are nutrient-rich in their natural forms: hibiscus tea is packed with antioxidants and has been studied for its benefits to blood pressure, and watermelon is a hydrating, vitamin C-rich summer staple. Celebrating with traditional foods today is both delicious and a way of honoring the cultural roots behind what’s on your plate.

The Hidden World of Umami and the Fifth Taste

The practical application of umami knowledge has meaningful implications for sodium reduction in cooking. Research demonstrates that replacing a portion of added salt with glutamate-rich ingredients — miso, soy sauce, tomato paste, Parmesan, and other fermented or aged umami sources — maintains perceived saltiness and flavor satisfaction while significantly reducing total sodium content. A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that incorporating umami-rich ingredients allowed for sodium reductions of up to forty percent in soups and sauces without any decrease in perceived palatability — making umami literacy one of the most practical tools available for heart-healthy cooking.
