Ingredients
Scale
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)
Instructions
- Prepare Watermelon and Feta: Cut the seedless watermelon into 1-inch cubes ensuring they are evenly sized for balanced skewer assembly. Crumble the feta cheese into small chunks for easy threading.
- Assemble Skewers: Alternate threading watermelon cubes and crumbled feta onto each bamboo skewer until fully filled, making sure to leave some space at both ends of the skewer to handle it comfortably.
- Season the Skewers: Just before serving, sprinkle the skewers generously with Tajín seasoning to add a tangy and mildly spicy flavor that complements both the watermelon and feta.
- Add Fresh Mint: Top each skewer with freshly chopped mint leaves. This adds a fresh aroma and a pop of color enhancing the overall presentation and taste.
- Serve and Enjoy: Place the assembled skewers on a platter. They can be enjoyed chilled or at room temperature, making them versatile for different serving preferences.
Notes
- Soaking the bamboo skewers in water prevents them from burning if you’re grilling or broiling, although this recipe does not require cooking.
- For extra flavor, you can drizzle a little lime juice over the skewers before serving.
- These skewers can be assembled a few hours ahead and refrigerated, but add the Tajín and mint just before serving to maintain freshness.
- Substitute feta with a vegan cheese alternative if you want a vegan version, but the flavor profile will slightly change.
