Ingredients
  

4 cups fresh watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled or cut into 1-inch cubes

1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Zest of 1 lemon

1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Skewers (wooden or metal)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by cutting the watermelon into 1-inch cubes, ensuring uniformity for even assembly. If using feta cheese blocks, cut them into 1-inch cubes as well; alternatively, you can crumble the feta for a different texture and presentation.

    Make the Dressing: In a small mixing bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon zest, and freshly cracked black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until well blended. This dressing will infuse the skewers with a delightful flavor.

      Assemble the Skewers: Skewer your first piece by threading on a cube of watermelon. Next, add a piece of feta cheese, followed by a few chopped mint leaves. Continue layering in this order—watermelon, feta, and mint—until the skewer is filled, leaving about an inch of space at each end for easy handling. Repeat this assembly process for the remaining skewers.

        Drizzle with Dressing: Once all the skewers are assembled, arrange them on a serving platter. Drizzle the prepared olive oil dressing generously over the skewers to enhance their flavor and add a glossy finish.

          Garnish and Serve: For an extra touch of freshness, sprinkle additional finely chopped mint leaves over the top of the skewers. Serve immediately to enjoy their vibrant flavors, or chill in the refrigerator for up to 30 minutes for a refreshing cool treat.

              Presentation Tips: Arrange skewers in a standing position in a decorative container, or lay them flat on a platter for a more elegant look. Garnish the platter with extra lemon wedges and mint leaves for a visually appealing display.
