Juicy watermelon, feta, and mint make these easy skewers a refreshing appetizer ideal for parties or picnics.

# What You Need:

→ Produce

01 - 4 cups seedless watermelon, diced into 1-inch cubes
02 - 16 fresh mint leaves, rinsed and dried

# How-To Steps:

01 - Using a sharp knife, trim watermelon and feta into uniform 1-inch cubes to ensure even presentation.

# Helpful Hints:

01 -
  • The sweet-salty-creamy combination feels like a culinary cheat code every single time.
  • It’s so spectacularly easy that you can assemble it minutes before guests arrive without breaking a sweat.
02 -
  • Once, I tried using pre-crumbled feta and the pieces slid right off—use block feta for sturdy skewers.
  • Letting the skewers chill for at least 15 minutes before serving makes all the difference in flavor and prevents soggy mint.
03 -
  • Cut your ingredients as uniformly as possible—the neat cubes make skewering easy and visually appealing.
  • A tiny pinch of flaky sea salt over the top is my secret move for bringing the flavors into perfect balance.
