This Watermelon Tajín Toast with Farmer’s Cheese is a salty-sweet, summery snack that is super refreshing. Thick slices of juicy watermelon are layered over creamy farmer’s cheese and finished with a generous sprinkle of Tajín—a chili-lime seasoning that adds the perfect kick. Served on toasted sourdough or multigrain bread, it’s fresh, vibrant, and totally refreshing.
Farmer’s cheese is a soft, mild cheese with a slightly tangy flavor and spreadable texture—similar to ricotta or cottage cheese, but a bit firmer. It pairs beautifully with the juicy watermelon and spicy-sour Tajín, making each bite creamy, crisp, and zesty. It’s a simple but surprising toast that’s perfect for warm weather snacking.
