Serves 4-6

Ingredients

Watermelon
4 cups, cut into bite-sized cubes
Feta cheese
1 cup, cut into bite-sized cubes
Fresh mint leaves
1/2 cup, whole leaves
Balsamic glaze
1/4 cup, for drizzling
Skewers
12-15, preferably 6-inch bamboo or metal

Instructions

  1. Begin by cutting the watermelon into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1 inch in size.
  2. Cut the feta cheese into cubes of similar size to the watermelon for a balanced bite.
  3. Take a skewer and start threading by placing a watermelon cube at the bottom, followed by a cube of feta cheese, and finishing with a fresh mint leaf.
  4. Repeat the process until all ingredients are used, aiming to have 2-3 sets of watermelon and feta on each skewer.
  5. Arrange the completed skewers on a serving platter in an attractive manner.
  6. Before serving, drizzle the balsamic glaze generously over the skewers, allowing it to enhance the flavors and add a glossy finish.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing combination!

Tips

  • 💡 For added flavor, consider marinating the feta cheese in olive oil, herbs, or spices for a few hours before assembling the skewers.
  • 💡 You can also add cherry tomatoes or cucumber slices for extra color and flavor.
  • 💡 If you're preparing these skewers in advance, store the individual components in the refrigerator and assemble them just before serving for optimal freshness.
