Ingredients
  

3 cups seedless watermelon, cut into bite-sized cubes

1 ½ cups feta cheese, crumbled or cubed

1 cup fresh mint leaves, gently torn into smaller pieces

¼ cup balsamic glaze

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden, soak in water for 30 minutes before use)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Skewers: If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling or broiling.

    Layer the Ingredients: Carefully thread the ingredients onto each skewer. Start with a cube of watermelon, then add a piece of feta cheese, followed by a torn mint leaf. Repeat layering until the skewer is filled, ensuring to leave enough space at both ends for easy handling.

      Drizzle with Olive Oil: Once all skewers are assembled, lightly drizzle them with extra virgin olive oil to enhance flavor and maintain moisture.

        Add Seasoning: Sprinkle freshly cracked black pepper over the skewers, providing a delightful contrast to the sweetness of the watermelon and the saltiness of the feta.

          Glaze and Serve: Right before serving, generously drizzle the skewers with balsamic glaze to impart a delicious sweet and tangy finish.

            Chill (Optional): For additional refreshing flavors, refrigerate the skewers for 15-20 minutes before serving, allowing them to chill slightly.
