Watermelon Feta Guacamole
Updated March 26, 2019
Watermelon Feta Guacamole-this refreshing and flavorful guacamole recipe is perfect for summertime!
I have been craving watermelon like mad. It is all I want to eat. Josh is constantly telling me I can’t live on watermelon alone. I know he is right, so I try to eat other foods to make him and the baby happy. I am not giving up my watermelon though. I am just finding creative ways to eat it. I recently made Watermelon Feta Guacamole for an afternoon snack and I dominated the bowl! I let Josh have a few bites, but he knows to get out of my way when watermelon is involved. Plus, he was happy I branched out from my regular watermelon routine.
When I was in Austin, Texas last week I had Watermelon Feta Guacamole at La Condesa, a trendy Mexican restaurant. I knew I had to recreate it at home after one bite.
We always have a watermelon in our fridge. If we don’t, I go into major panic mode. So luckily, when I got home from Austin there was a ripe watermelon waiting for me. I made Watermelon Feta Guacamole the day after I got back from my trip. I couldn’t wait, I had to try it!
The ingredients are fresh and simple: avocado, watermelon, feta cheese, jalapeño, cilantro, lime, and red onion. Combine everything in a bowl, add a little salt and pepper, and you are good to go!
You end up with a beautiful bowl of guacamole that screams summer!
This Watermelon Feta Guacamole, is the perfect summer appetizer and snack! I know I will be eating it by the bowl all summer long!

Seriously ate 3 watermelons last week, it was so good. Know how my wife felt now when she was pregnant.
WOW , watermelon, cilantro, avocados some of our favorite things all mixed together, my daughters’ taste buds are going to go wild!
I would never have thought of combining watermelon, feta, and guacamole! But it seems like a good idea, and the colors go great together!
I absolutely LOVE the combination of watermelon and feta, but who woulda thunk it’d make a great guacamole!?!? This sounds soooo delicious
What a beautiful set!
Maria, I love this idea! I’m all about the watermelon this summer too. It’s been so good but it’s about to get much better in guacamole! great idea!
I love the combo of feta and watermelon and I love guacamole, but I’ll admit I’m a wee bit timid about combining them. Still, it might become my summer watermelon go-to dish. 🙂
How fun is this?! I would totally try this fun combo!!
The perfect guac for summer!
I love how refreshing this is!
I love avocados and watermelon.
Love the fresh look of this – fruit and guac is just amazing! You should try out pomegranate – TO DIE FOR!

This looks yummy might have to try it. Thanks! My favorite summer appetizer is anything with cucumber something cool and fresh.
Beautiful set. This recipe looks so intriguing. I can’t wait for my next party!
My favorite summer appetizer is homemade salsa or homemade bruschetta. Can;t beat fresh, rip tomatoes!
This looks sooooo good! I suppose my favorite appetizer is bruschetta.
I cannot wait to try this! Love avocados and watermelon but never even thought of putting them together! These dishes are beautiful!
So creative, Maria!! I need this for my next BBQ.
I love any kind of fancy guacamole! I think it’s so amazing how sweet and savory come together in fruit guacs!
So unique and a different take on guac! I love it!
Caprese salad!

A great guacamole.

I would devour this salad in a heartbeat!! Love the savory and sweet notes here, Maria.
This looks so fresh and tasty! What a fun combo!
So good. I’ve had salads with these ingredients, but they’re so great in Guac form. I made the basic Guac ahead of time adding a little cumin and extra cilantro and soaked my cubes watermelon in a little tequila and salt before tossing them and the feta in at the end. Definitely something easy and different to bring to summer cookouts.
Fried cheese sticks.
Fun giveaway and I have to try this guacamole!
I Love watermelon and salsa but I haven’t ever had them together but I will now because it looks and sounds Yummy!!!
When I read the title of the post—-I thought, “What?” Pretty nifty idea. Puts a summer spin on an old favorite. Also lightens it up too. I like the look of it also.

Hi Maria,
We are doing a guacamole roundup on Friday for Guacamole Day and wondered if we could include a link to your recipe in our post. We would also like to use your picture and will feature it with your blog’s name.
Thanks so much.
Wow, I love this. After apples, the food I love the most is water melon. One thing that amazes me is what you can actually do with this fruits. I have never tried this before. How lasting can it be?
