Instructions

Prepare Ingredients: Cube the seedless watermelon and block feta cheese into 1-inch pieces to ensure they hold well on the skewers and provide a balanced bite.
Assemble Skewers: Thread one watermelon cube followed by one feta cube onto each wooden skewer or toothpick. For longer skewers, repeat the pattern as desired.
Arrange for Serving: Place the completed skewers neatly on a serving platter, ready for presentation.
Add Fresh Herbs and Glaze: Sprinkle freshly chopped or whole mint leaves over the skewers for an aromatic touch, and if using, lightly drizzle balsamic glaze on top just before serving for a sweet acidity that complements the flavors.
Serve: Serve the skewers chilled or at room temperature, making them a perfect refreshing appetizer or snack.

Notes

Using block feta cheese instead of crumbled ensures the cheese holds its shape better when skewered.
Chill the skewers before serving to enhance their refreshing quality.
For added variety, consider adding a slice of cucumber or a fresh basil leaf alongside the watermelon and feta on each skewer.
