Watermelon pizza, a refreshing and healthy summer treat, has taken the internet by storm. This unconventional pizza is not made with dough or tomato sauce but with a juicy watermelon base and topped with various fruits, nuts, and cheese. Watermelon pizza is perfect for those who want to indulge in something sweet yet nutritious.
To make your own watermelon pizza at home, start by slicing a round watermelon into thick rounds. Pat them dry using paper towels to remove any excess moisture. The next step is to add toppings of your choice such as sliced strawberries, blueberries, kiwi fruit or even feta cheese and mint leaves for an unexpected twist. You can also drizzle honey or balsamic vinegar glaze on top for added flavor complexity.
