Watermelon, Feta & Mint Skewers
Makes about 12 skewers · About 5 minutes
Nothing says July like fresh, crisp watermelon. Cubed and skewered with savory feta and cool mint, then finished with a drizzle of thick balsamic glaze, this is summer on a stick. It comes together in about five minutes and brings the ultimate summer vibe to any backyard gathering.
Ingredients
- Half a small seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 8 ounces feta cheese, cut into bite-size cubes
- 1 bunch fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- Flaky salt and cracked black pepper, to taste
- Short skewers or party toothpicks
- Optional: a light drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil
Steps
- Pat the watermelon cubes dry with a paper towel so the glaze clings instead of sliding off.
- On each skewer, thread a cube of watermelon, a mint leaf, and a cube of feta. Repeat if your skewers are long enough for two of each.
- Arrange the finished skewers on a serving platter.
- Drizzle with balsamic glaze, add a little olive oil if you like, and finish with a pinch of flaky salt and a crack of black pepper.
- Serve right away, or chill for up to an hour for an extra-refreshing bite.
Make it your own
Swap the mint for fresh basil, add a thin ribbon of prosciutto for a salty-sweet twist, or set out a plate of these alongside grilled favorites. Either way, they disappear fast, so consider making a double batch.
