Watermelon Feta Skewers

Summer just got a whole lot sweeter with these refreshing Watermelon Feta Skewers! A match made in heaven, the sweetness of juicy watermelon pairs perfectly with the tanginess of crumbled feta, all tied together with a fresh hint of mint and basil.

A light, easy, and deliciously satisfying snack for any warm weather gathering.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups cubed seedless watermelon (about 1 small to medium melon)
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
• 9 bamboo skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Thread a cube of watermelon, a small piece of feta cheese, a few fresh mint leaves, and a few fresh basil leaves onto each bamboo skewer, leaving a small space between each piece. Repeat the pattern until all the ingredients are used up, ending each skewer with a cube of watermelon.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve immediately and refrigerate any leftovers.

Notes

Use a ripe but firm watermelon for the best results, as it will hold its shape better on the skewer. You can also customize the amount of mint and basil to your taste – if you’re a huge fan of fresh herbs, go ahead and add a bit more! Make sure to soak those bamboo skewers for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from splintering or catching fire when handling.

You can prep the ingredients ahead of time, but assemble the skewers just before serving to keep everything fresh and pretty.

These skewers are perfect for a light and refreshing summer appetizer or snack – they’re also super easy to transport to a picnic or outdoor gathering! Refrigerate any leftovers promptly to keep the flavors and textures intact.
