Why You’ll Love This Recipe
This recipe combines the best of summer’s fresh ingredients—watermelon, feta, and mint—into an easy-to-assemble skewer that’s bursting with flavor.
The watermelon’s sweetness complements the saltiness of the feta, and the mint leaves add a refreshing contrast that ties everything together.

Ingredients:
- 1 small seedless watermelon
- 8 oz feta cheese, cut into cubes
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for drizzling)
- Balsamic glaze (optional, for drizzling)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Prepare the Watermelon and Feta: Cut the watermelon into cubes, about 1-inch in size. Cut the feta cheese into cubes of similar size to the watermelon.
- Assemble the Skewers: Thread a piece of watermelon, followed by a cube of feta cheese, and then a mint leaf onto a skewer. Repeat until all the skewers are assembled.
- Drizzle and Garnish: Once the skewers are ready, drizzle them with a little honey and balsamic glaze if desired for an extra touch of sweetness and tang. Garnish with any extra fresh mint leaves for a pop of color.
- Serve: Serve immediately, or chill the skewers in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving for a refreshing, cool snack.
Expert Tips for the Recipe:
- Sweetness Level: If you prefer a sweeter skewer, drizzle more honey or a light syrup over the watermelon and feta. Alternatively, a sprinkle of chili flakes can add a spicy contrast to the sweetness.
- Mint Leaves: Make sure to tear the mint leaves slightly before adding them to the skewer, as this will release more flavor.
- Make-Ahead Option: These skewers can be prepared a few hours ahead of time. Simply assemble them and store them in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to serve.
