This Watermelon Recipe Is the Hit of Summer 2025! TikTok and Instagram Are Crazy About It

TikTok already knows. In the summer, we will eat sandwiches based on watermelon! All in the interests of health, using seasonal ingredients, but also an innovative approach to cooking. Those who do not try will never know what summer tastes like in the third decade of the 21st century!

You can expect absolutely anything on TikTok , so the inclusion of a fairly typical and classic holiday fruit like watermelon in the seasonal culinary offerings is probably not a surprise.

But the devil is in the details. Because can you make a traditional sandwich out of watermelon ? It turns out that you can, and even have to, because it's one of the most important culinary trends this summer! Can it taste good?

A unique fruity watermelon sandwich, tagged #healthyfood on social media. Because how can you not be healthy when the main base of the sandwich is watermelon! This summer fruit has a lot of health-promoting properties. In addition to quenching thirst (so in the case of the sandwich we have 2in1), it is rich in vitamins A, C, B1, B6 as well as potassium and magnesium. Recently, watermelon has undergone quite a metamorphosis in culinary trends.

In the summer season, in addition to the fact that you can eat it in its classic form, TikTok is full of ideas on how to use it. It works perfectly in a sweet and savory combination, especially as an addition to light salads based on arugula, corn salad with the addition of mozzarella and olives. Therefore, the option with a sandwich can be a really interesting combination of flavors.

There is nothing simpler. Watermelon sandwiches from TikTok refer directly to American sandwiches, where the bread is folded in two. In the case of a watermelon sandwich, the bread is replaced with watermelon, you can cut it into triangles to make it easier to eat. When it comes to the inside of the sandwich, you can add absolutely anything you want to it. In social media, combinations with prosciutto, rocket and mozzarella reign supreme - in a slightly Italian style, but you can also add goat cheese, walnuts or pickled cucumber. The whole thing will be very well complemented by a homemade vinaigrette sauce, which will emphasize the whole character of the sandwich.

Although the watermelon sandwich is quite convincing and is certainly worth trying, one of my favorite dishes with watermelon in the lead role is the watermelon pizza! Very easy to make and you don't have to (and can't!) bake it. The watermelon should be cut into triangular pieces, preferably slightly thicker, so that the pizza pieces are more "stable."

On the watermelon, we put feta cheese cut into cubes, a little finely chopped red onion and sliced ​​black olives. The whole thing should be sprinkled with balsamic vinegar. A very original taste, in which all the ingredients combine perfectly. Such a pizza can be great during holiday parties as an aperitif, but it will also be a very good addition to grilled dishes.

Of course, as is often the case in practice, both watermelon pizza and sandwiches have their small drawbacks. Watermelon is a very juicy fruit, which is why it is always worth serving a dish with it immediately before eating it, rather than leaving it on the table for hours. Over time, it becomes softer and loses water, which will not only spoil the aesthetics of the dish, but also make it impossible to eat. It is also worth having easy access to tissues for guests. Eating an "ordinary" watermelon can be a challenge, which increases when you add other ingredients to it. Regardless, it is worth trying, or maybe opting for... watermelon skewers!
