Ingredients
  

2 cups watermelon, cubed

1 cucumber, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds

1 jalapeño pepper, finely diced (adjust to taste)

1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, finely chopped

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon chili powder

Feta cheese, crumbled (optional, for topping)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by cubing the watermelon and slicing the cucumber into thick rounds. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

    Make the Spicy Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the finely diced jalapeño, fresh mint, lime juice, honey (or agave), salt, black pepper, and chili powder until well combined.

      Combine Everything: Pour the spicy dressing over the watermelon and cucumber. Gently toss to ensure the cubes are evenly coated with the dressing.

        Assemble Bites: On a serving platter, arrange the cucumber slices as the base. Top each cucumber round with a cube of watermelon for a delightful bite-sized treat.

          Garnish (Optional): If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top for added flavor and creaminess.

            Chill and Serve: Allow the bites to chill in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve fresh as a zesty appetizer or snack.
