Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Cut the seedless watermelon into 1-inch cubes and slice the cucumber into thick half-moons or cubes. Cube the feta cheese into 1-inch pieces and chop or prepare fresh mint leaves for garnish.
- Assemble the Skewers: Thread one piece of watermelon, followed by one cucumber slice, and then one cube of feta cheese onto each skewer. Repeat this process until all ingredients are used, aiming to create 12 to 15 skewers.
- Season and Garnish: Arrange the skewers on a serving platter. Sprinkle the fresh mint leaves evenly over the skewers. Lightly season with a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
- Dress the Skewers (Optional): Drizzle a small amount of olive oil or balsamic glaze over the skewers for added flavor, if desired.
- Serve: Serve the skewers immediately for the freshest taste or refrigerate until ready to serve. These skewers are best enjoyed cold and fresh.
Notes
- For best results, use chilled ingredients and assemble just before serving to maintain freshness.
- You can substitute feta cheese with goat cheese or fresh mozzarella based on preference.
- Mini skewers or cocktail picks work best for creating bite-sized and easy-to-eat appetizers.
