Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

watermelon
  • 4 cup watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes
feta cheese
  • 8 oz feta cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
fresh mint
  • 20 fresh mint leaves
wooden skewers
  • 20 small wooden skewers If your skewers tend to char, soak them briefly in water before using.
olive oil
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
balsamic glaze
  • 1 tbsp balsamic glaze
flaky sea salt
  • 0.25 tsp flaky sea salt
black pepper
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper

Method
 

Thread the skewers
  1. Thread a watermelon cube, a mint leaf, and a feta cube onto each skewer, repeating as desired, until all ingredients are used.
  2. Arrange the skewers on a large serving platter so the cubes and feta stay visible and easy to grab.
Dress and finish
  1. Drizzle the skewers evenly with olive oil and balsamic glaze right before serving so the fruit stays juicy.
  2. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and black pepper for a final pop of flavor immediately after drizzling.
Serve or chill
  1. Serve immediately for best texture, or chill for up to 2 hours if making ahead to avoid excess watermelon liquid.

Notes

Pro tip: Keep the dressing (olive oil and balsamic glaze) and the seasonings for right before serving—watermelon releases liquid as it sits. Store assembled skewers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours only; after that, drain any pooled liquid and re-season if needed. Freezing is not recommended. For a dairy-light option, substitute feta with a firm salted tofu (cut into cubes) for a similar savory bite.
