Patriotic Watermelon Feta Skewers (Printable)
Juicy watermelon, creamy feta and blueberries on skewers, finished with mint and honey for a festive summer bite.
# What's Needed:
→ Fruit & Cheese
01 - 2 cups seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes
02 - 6 ounces feta cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
03 - 1 cup fresh blueberries
→ Garnish & Assembly
04 - 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
05 - 1 tablespoon honey or balsamic glaze
# How to Make It:
01 - Cut the watermelon and feta into uniform 1-inch cubes. Rinse and thoroughly drain the blueberries.
02 - Thread one blueberry, one cube of feta, and one cube of watermelon onto each skewer or sturdy toothpick. Repeat the process to prepare 12 skewers.
03 - Drizzle lightly with honey or balsamic glaze, and sprinkle with finely chopped fresh mint leaves if desired.
04 - Arrange the skewers neatly on a serving platter and serve immediately, chilled.
# Tips for Success:
01 -
- No oven heat—just crisp fruit and tangy cheese cooling your fingertips on a blazing summer day.
- They disappear quickly at picnics because the sweet and savory combo feels as playful as it looks.
02 -
- If the feta is too soft or wet, it breaks when you skewer—press it gently with a towel first.
- Adding the drizzle too far ahead can make everything soggy, so wait until the last minute.
03 -
- Cutting the watermelon just before serving keeps everything the brightest and most crisp.
- Straight toothpicks are sturdier than decorative ones, and easier for threading softer cheese without splitting it.
