Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 3 cups seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 8 oz block feta cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
- Fresh mint leaves, whole
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze (optional)
- 12–16 small wooden skewers or cocktail picks
Instructions
- Assemble the Skewers: Take one small wooden skewer and layer it with one cube of watermelon, followed by one fresh mint leaf (folded if large), and then one cube of feta cheese. For longer skewers, repeat the layering to add more pieces.
- Arrange on Platter: Place the assembled skewers neatly on a serving platter to make a visually appealing presentation.
- Add Flavor Enhancements: Drizzle the skewers lightly with balsamic glaze, if using, for a touch of sweet and tangy contrast. Garnish the platter with extra mint leaves for freshness.
- Serve: Serve the skewers immediately while chilled to maintain the freshness of the mint and firmness of the feta cheese.
Notes
- For a unique twist, add a slice of cucumber or a black olive to each skewer to enhance flavors and presentation.
- These skewers are best served cold and should be assembled just before serving to keep ingredients fresh and maintain texture.
