Instructions

Prepare the ingredients: Cut the seedless watermelon into uniform 1-inch cubes to ensure even assembly and easy eating. Crumble the feta cheese into small chunks suitable for skewering.
Assemble the skewers: Alternate threading watermelon cubes and feta cheese onto each soaked bamboo skewer, filling each skewer but leaving a little space at both ends for easy handling.
Add seasoning: Just before serving, sprinkle the assembled skewers generously with Tajín seasoning to add a flavorful spicy and tangy kick.
Garnish with mint: Top the skewers with freshly chopped mint leaves for a vibrant color contrast and refreshing taste.
Serve: Place the finished skewers on a platter and serve chilled or at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

Soak bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before assembling to prevent burning if grilling or broiling in other recipes.
Use fresh, cold watermelon for the most refreshing taste.
These skewers are best served within a few hours of assembly to maintain texture and freshness.
Tajín seasoning can be adjusted to taste depending on your preference for spiciness.
For a vegan version, substitute the feta with a dairy-free cheese alternative.
