When I first saw this on the list of new midway foods, I knew immediately I was going to make it. This is basically a grab-and-go watermelon feta salad. What’s not to love?
No additional condiments required; as weird as this already is, mustard and ketchup would be weirder. Use your favourite vegan feta; I used slices of the Spread Em Greek Block.
Instructions below are for 1 burger; just multiply the ingredients by the number of burgers you want if you’re making more. The only thing I would do differently would be to use black sesame seeds; I think they’d look cooler.
And how does it taste?! It’s not bad! I think the novelty makes it worth preparing and trying at least once, and I could definitely see myself making mini slider versions of these to serve at a BBQ. It really is very much like a watermelon feta salad – the longer it sits the weirder it gets so best to just eat it quickly and enjoy. 😉

Watermelon Burger
Ingredients
- 1 vegan burger patty, lightly seasoned (I used a small amount of seasoning salt)
- 5-6 baby spinach leaves
- 3 large mint leaves
- 1 slice vegan feta (or enough to cover the top of the burger, if yours is very soft like mine was)
- 2 thinly sliced watermelon pieces, large enough to cover the burger
- 2 tbsp balsamic reduction (you can find this bottled near the regular balsamic or make your own)
- sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
-
Blot the watermelon slices on some paper towel.
-
Arrange the spinach leaves on top of one of the watermelon slices. Then add the burger, feta, mint, and top with the other watermelon slice.
-
Drizzle with balsamic reduction and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
