# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • The sweet watermelon and creamy feta create that magical salty-sweet bite you secretly crave on warm days.
  • The simple skewers can be made ahead and jazz up any table without much fuss.
02 -
  • Watermelon cubes slip if they're too juicy, so pat them dry before skewering or you'll end up with a sticky mess.
  • Try to thread mint leaf between the watermelon and feta rather than outside; it keeps the leaf from wilting.
03 -
  • If you accidentally poke through the feta, angle the skewer and try threading gently from a firmer corner.
  • Let the skewers chill for 30 minutes—the flavors come together and the texture is perfect.
