Print Recipe

A refreshing and easy-to-make summer snack featuring juicy watermelon, salty feta, and fresh mint on skewers, finished with a sweet and tangy honey-lime drizzle.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 8 ounces feta cheese, cut into small cubes or crumbled
  • 24 fresh mint leaves, washed and patted dry
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 1 large lime)
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)
  • 12-inch wooden skewers (soaked in water for 15 minutes if grilling)

Instructions

  1. Soak wooden skewers in water for 15 minutes if you plan to grill later to prevent burning.
  2. Cut the watermelon into 1-inch cubes, aiming for about 4 cups total.
  3. Cube the feta cheese into pieces roughly the same size as the watermelon cubes, about 1 inch. If using crumbled feta, scoop small spoonfuls that can be skewered.
  4. Wash and dry the mint leaves thoroughly.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together honey and fresh lime juice until smooth and well combined.
  6. Thread one watermelon cube, one mint leaf (folded if large), and one feta cube onto each skewer. Repeat this pattern 3-4 times per skewer without overcrowding.
  7. Arrange the skewers on a serving platter and drizzle the honey-lime mixture evenly over the top.
  8. Lightly sprinkle sea salt over the skewers if desired. Serve immediately or chill in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to meld flavors.

Notes

Choose ripe but firm watermelon to hold shape on skewers. Use fresh lime juice for best flavor. Assemble skewers just before serving to keep watermelon juicy and mint fresh. Soak wooden skewers before grilling to prevent burning. For dairy-free or vegan options, substitute feta with firm tofu or vegan cheese and honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
