Ingredients
  

4 cups seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes

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

1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, washed and dried

1/4 cup balsamic glaze for drizzling

Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Wooden skewers (approximately 8-10, soaked in water for 30 minutes if wooden)

Instructions
 

Prep the Skewers: If you are using wooden skewers, ensure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes. This step helps prevent the skewers from burning during grilling or while being assembled.

    Cut Ingredients: Start by cutting the seedless watermelon into 1-inch cubes. If you opted for block feta cheese, slice it into 1-inch cubes or crumble it based on your preference.

      Assemble the Skewers: Take each skewer and thread one watermelon cube onto it. Follow this with a mint leaf, then a feta cube. Repeat this sequence until the skewer is filled, but leave some space at both ends. For a delightful variation, you can alternate the order of the watermelon and feta cubes.

        Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze: Once all skewers are assembled, place them artistically on a serving platter. Drizzle the balsamic glaze generously over the skewers, enhancing their flavor and visual appeal with a glossy finish.

          Season: To elevate the flavors, lightly sprinkle freshly cracked black pepper over the assembled skewers. This adds a subtle kick that complements the sweetness of watermelon.

            Chill (Optional): For an extra refreshing experience, consider placing the assembled skewers in the refrigerator for about 15-30 minutes before serving. This step chills the flavors and makes for a cooler bite.

              Serve: These Refreshing Greek Watermelon Feta Skewers are ideal as an appetizer, side dish, or light snack. Enjoy them at your next gathering or picnic for a burst of flavor!
