Time 45m

Yield Makes 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

16 1-inch cubes peeled seedless watermelon
8 large basil leaves
8 cubes (3/4 inch) feta cheese (6 ounces)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • Soak 8 wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes.
  • Heat grill to high. Carefully thread 2 watermelon cubes onto each skewer. Grill, flipping, until grill marks appear, about 1 minute per side.
  • Carefully thread 1 basil leaf and 1 feta cube onto each skewer. Season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with oil.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe watermelon: Look for a watermelon that is heavy for its size, with a deep red color and a yellow spot where it rested on the ground. Avoid watermelons with bruises or cuts.
  • Cut the watermelon into small cubes: This will make it easier to skewer and eat.
  • Use fresh feta cheese: Feta cheese that is too old will be crumbly and difficult to skewer. Look for feta cheese that is soft and moist.
  • Add other ingredients to your skewers: You can add other ingredients to your skewers, such as olives, cucumber, or tomatoes. Get creative and make your own unique combination.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar: This will add flavor and moisture to your skewers. You can also use a simple vinaigrette dressing.
  • Serve immediately: Watermelon feta skewers are best served immediately, while the watermelon is still fresh and juicy.

Conclusion:

Watermelon feta skewers are a refreshing and easy appetizer or snack that is perfect for summer gatherings. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be assembled in minutes. Watermelon feta skewers are a healthy and delicious way to enjoy the flavors of summer.
