Feta, Watermelon, and Mint Skewers
Serves 4
I’ve enjoyed this ingredient combination many times in salad form, but I think it’s especially cute on toothpicks, and makes a terrific summer appetizer. Make sure to use a firm block of feta so it doesn’t crumble when you skewer it.
8 ounces seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 1 ½ cups)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
8 ounces French or Greek block feta, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 1 ½ cups)
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Toothpicks
In a medium bowl, toss the watermelon with the mint. Thread the feta and watermelon onto the toothpicks (I like putting the watermelon on top and the feta on the bottom) then drizzle with olive oil and serve.
Do Ahead: Cube the watermelon and the feta and store separately, in airtight containers in the refrigerator. An hour or so before serving, toss the watermelon with the mint, assemble the skewers and keep chilled until ready to serve. Drizzle with olive oil just before serving.
