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 Ingredients: Cut the seedless watermelon into 1-inch cubes and crumble the feta cheese into small chunks suitable for skewering.
- Assemble Skewers: Thread watermelon cubes and feta cheese alternately onto each soaked bamboo skewer, filling them mostly but leaving some space at both ends for easy handling.
- Season the Skewers: Just before serving, sprinkle each assembled skewer generously with Tajín seasoning to add a tangy and mildly spicy flavor.
- Add Fresh Herbs: Top the skewers with chopped fresh mint leaves to enhance the aroma and add a burst of freshness.
- Serve: Arrange the skewers on a serving platter and enjoy either chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Soaking the bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes prevents them from burning if you choose to grill or broil in the future.
- For an extra burst of flavor, drizzle a little fresh lime juice over the skewers before serving.
- These skewers are best served fresh but can be prepared a few hours in advance and kept refrigerated.
- Feel free to swap feta with goat cheese for a creamier texture.
- For a vegan version, substitute feta with a plant-based cheese alternative.
