# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They come together in 15 minutes, which means you can actually enjoy your guests instead of stressing in the kitchen.
  • The salty feta against sweet watermelon and bright mint hits a flavor combination that feels fancy but tastes like summer.
  • Cold, refreshing, and gluten-free, so they work for almost any dietary situation without anyone feeling left out.
02 -
  • Assemble these as close to serving as possible because watermelon releases water as it sits, and soggy skewers lose their appeal fast.
  • If your feta crumbles when you cut it, your knife isn't sharp enough or the cheese is too warm—keep it cold and use a serrated knife if needed.
03 -
  • Cut your watermelon and feta the night before if you're short on time, but assemble the skewers only when you're ready to serve so everything stays crisp and cold.
  • If you're making these for a crowd, soak your bamboo skewers and lay out your ingredients assembly-line style so you can thread them quickly without stopping.
