Ingredients
  

4 cups of fresh watermelon, rind removed and cut into 1-inch cubes

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

1 cup of fresh mint leaves, preferably whole

2 tablespoons of balsamic glaze (store-bought or homemade)

Salt and pepper to taste

12 to 15 skewers (preferably bamboo or metal)

Instructions
 

Prep the Skewers: Begin by soaking bamboo skewers in water for about 10-15 minutes if using them. This helps prevent them from burning on the grill or in the oven, if you choose to grill the skewers.

    Assemble the Skewers: Take one skewer and thread a cube of watermelon onto it, followed by a mint leaf, and then a piece of feta. Repeat this process, alternating between watermelon, mint, and feta until the skewer is filled, leaving a little space on each end for easy handling. Aim for 3-4 cycles of watermelon, mint, and feta per skewer.

      Season: Once assembled, lightly sprinkle the skewers with salt and pepper to enhance their flavors.

        Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze: Lay the skewers on a serving platter and drizzle the balsamic glaze over them. This adds a sweet and tangy finish that complements the fresh ingredients beautifully.

          Serve: Serve immediately or refrigerate for a short period (no more than 30 minutes) to allow flavors to mingle, but avoid leaving them too long as the watermelon can become mushy.

            Enjoy: These skewers are perfect for summer gatherings, picnics, or as a light appetizer. The combination of sweet watermelon, creamy feta, and refreshing mint will surely delight your guests!
