Ingredients
  

4 cups watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes

8 oz feta cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes (preferably brined for extra flavor)

1 cup fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped

2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Skewers (wooden or metal)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning. This also helps keep the watermelon from drying out when grilling, if you choose to grill your skewers.

    Assemble the Skewers: On each skewer, alternate threading a cube of watermelon, a cube of feta cheese, and a few chopped mint leaves. Repeat this pattern until the skewer is filled, leaving a little space at the ends for easy handling. Aim for about 3-4 watermelon pieces, 3-4 feta pieces, and a few mint leaves per skewer.

      Drizzle with Glaze: Lay the assembled skewers on a serving platter. Drizzle balsamic glaze over the skewers lightly for a touch of sweetness and acidity.

        Season: Sprinkle freshly cracked black pepper over the skewers for an added layer of flavor. You can also add a pinch of sea salt if desired.

          Chill and Serve: For the best flavor, let the skewers sit in the refrigerator for at least 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve cold as a refreshing appetizer or a delightful snack.
