Light, crisp, and delightfully unexpected, these watermelon skewers are summer on a stick. Juicy watermelon, salty feta, and fresh mint create the perfect balance of sweet and savory. Serve chilled with a glass of rosé for an easy, elegant start to your evening—and don’t forget a drizzle of balsamic glaze for extra flair.
Ingredients
- 3 cups seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 8 oz block feta cheese, cut into 3/4 to 1-inch cubes
- Fresh mint leaves
- Balsamic glaze (optional, for drizzling)
- Toothpicks or small skewers
Directions
Assemble the Skewers:
On each skewer or toothpick, layer in this order:
• 1 cube watermelon
• 1 mint leaf
• 1 cube feta
• (Optional: another watermelon cube on top for a mini stack)
Plate and Chill:
Arrange on a serving platter. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve — these are best cold!
Finish with Flair (Optional):
Right before serving, drizzle lightly with balsamic glaze for a tangy-sweet touch.
