Description
These vibrant Watermelon Feta Mint Skewers are a refreshing summer appetizer, combining juicy watermelon, creamy feta, and fragrant mint for a delightful taste experience.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 16 fresh mint leaves, plus extra for garnish
- 8 oz feta cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 16 bamboo or cocktail skewers
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: Begin by cutting the watermelon and feta cheese into uniform, 1-inch cubes. Rinse mint leaves gently under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Assemble skewers: Take a bamboo skewer and thread one watermelon cube, followed by a mint leaf, and then a feta cube. Continue with this alternating pattern until the skewer is filled.
- Arrange for serving: Place the assembled skewers on a wide, flat serving platter in a single layer.
- Finish and season: Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic glaze over the assembled skewers and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper.
- Garnish and serve: Top the skewers with additional fresh mint leaves for an elegant touch. Serve immediately while chilled.
Notes
These skewers can be prepared a few hours in advance; keep them covered in the refrigerator until serving. Avoid drizzling olive oil and balsamic glaze until just before serving for optimal freshness.
