Description
Watermelon-Cucumber-Feta Skewers are a simple yet elegant summer appetizer. Juicy watermelon, crisp cucumber, and salty feta are threaded onto skewers and finished with a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a refreshing bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 large cucumber, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds (then halved or quartered)
- 6 oz feta cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
- Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
- Balsamic glaze, for drizzling
- Toothpicks or short skewers
Instructions
- Cut watermelon, cucumber, and feta into similar-sized cubes.
- On each skewer or toothpick, thread one piece each of watermelon, cucumber, and feta.
- Arrange skewers on a serving platter.
- Drizzle lightly with balsamic glaze just before serving.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Notes
- Use a melon baller for a fun shape variation.
- Feta blocks hold up better than pre-crumbled feta.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute with firm tofu or omit cheese.
- Serve chilled for best flavor and texture.
