Ingredients
  

2 cups of seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes

1 cup of feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup of fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped

2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon of balsamic glaze (optional)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

12 small wooden skewers or toothpicks

Instructions
 

Prepare Ingredients: Begin by carefully cutting the seedless watermelon into 1-inch cubes. Next, crumble the feta cheese into a bowl, ensuring there are no large chunks. Rinse the fresh mint leaves under cold water, then pat them dry with a paper towel before roughly chopping them to release their fragrant oils.

    Assemble Skewers: Take a wooden skewer and slide on a watermelon cube first, followed by a piece of feta cheese. Add a mint leaf next, allowing it to add a vibrant touch to the skewer. Repeat this sequence until the skewer is filled, typically achieving about 2 cubes of watermelon and 2 pieces of feta, finishing with a mint leaf, leaving some space at either end for handling.

      Drizzle Olive Oil: Once all the skewers have been assembled, arrange them neatly on a serving platter. Lightly drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the skewers, ensuring they are well-coated and flavorful.

        Season: With a gentle touch, season the skewers with salt and freshly ground black pepper. This step enhances the natural sweetness of the watermelon and the creaminess of the feta.

          Add Balsamic Glaze: If you desire a hint of sweetness and acidity, drizzle balsamic glaze over the top of the skewers, making sure to do this sparingly so it doesn’t overpower the other flavors.

            Serve: These delightful skewers are best enjoyed fresh, showcasing their vibrant colors and flavors. If you prefer a chilled experience, you may refrigerate them for a brief period before serving.
