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
- 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.
