In hot weather, we tend to turn to anything cold to help us beat the heat at mealtimes. But, let’s face it, you can soon get tired of lettuce! Fortunately, TikTok is a gold mine of recipe ideas, each more eccentric than the next. Here are three cold concoctions that are proving particularly popular on the platform!
Watermelon with goat cheese
When it comes to surprising flavor combinations that you wouldn’t expect to work, you might have heard of melon with blue cheese and mint. But that’s not the only contender out there. It seems that the freshness of watermelon combines well with the crumbly texture of goat cheese. And there are several ways to road test this taste experience. You can sear pieces of watermelon on a plancha grill and sprinkle them with crumbled goat cheese, for example. Then finish off these tasty bites with a dash of balsamic vinegar. Alternatively, some TikTok users are turning watermelon slices into would-be pizza slices topped with goat cheese, cucumber and mint.
