Description

These Watermelon Feta Tajín Skewers are a refreshing and flavorful appetizer perfect for warm weather gatherings. Juicy watermelon cubes paired with salty feta cheese and a zesty Tajín seasoning create a delightful balance of sweet, salty, and spicy flavors, garnished with fresh mint for an extra burst of freshness.


Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 4 cups seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tbsp Tajín seasoning
  • ¼ cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 8 bamboo skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning)


Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Add seasoning: Just before serving, sprinkle the assembled skewers generously with Tajín seasoning to add a flavorful spicy and tangy kick.
  4. Garnish with mint: Top the skewers with freshly chopped mint leaves for a vibrant color contrast and refreshing taste.
  5. 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.
