Print Recipe

A quick and refreshing snack combining juicy watermelon, salty feta, and a minty balsamic glaze, perfect for summer gatherings and last-minute guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 8 ounces block feta cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped for glaze plus whole leaves for threading
  • 1/3 cup balsamic glaze
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for glaze)
  • Wooden or bamboo skewers, about 12 inches long

Instructions

  1. Cut the watermelon into 1-inch cubes, removing any seeds or rind.
  2. Slice the block feta into 1-inch cubes, aiming for uniform pieces.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic glaze, finely chopped fresh mint, and honey until combined. Add a teaspoon of water if a thinner glaze is desired.
  4. Thread the skewers starting with a watermelon cube, then a mint leaf, followed by a feta cube, repeating once more or until the skewer is filled but not overcrowded. Leave space on each end for handling.
  5. Arrange the skewers on a serving platter and spoon the mint balsamic glaze evenly over them.
  6. Serve immediately or chill for about 15 minutes to let flavors meld. If chilling, cover loosely with plastic wrap.

Notes

Use chilled watermelon for best texture. Choose block feta for easier skewering. If glaze is too thick, thin with a teaspoon of water. Fresh mint is essential for bright flavor. Avoid overfilling skewers to prevent falling apart. Serve soon after assembling to avoid soggy feta. For vegan version, substitute feta with firm tofu and use vegan-friendly glaze.
