Instructions
- Rinse the watermelon, slice off the rind, and cut the flesh into approximately 1-inch cubes.
- Cut or crumble the feta into small cubes about the same size as the watermelon.
- Gently pluck fresh mint leaves, selecting small, tender leaves.
- Thread one cube of watermelon, one mint leaf (folded if large), and one cube of feta onto each skewer. Repeat if desired for multiple bites per stick.

- Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Chill the skewers in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before serving to meld flavors and refresh.
Notes
Pat watermelon cubes dry with paper towels if very juicy to avoid soggy bites. Assemble skewers shortly before serving to keep fresh. Use a light drizzle of olive oil and balsamic glaze to enhance flavors without overpowering. For vegan options, substitute feta with marinated tofu or vegan cheese and mint with basil.
