Ingredients
  

4 cups seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes

1 cup feta cheese, diced

1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped

2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Skewers (wooden or metal)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.

    Assemble the Skewers: Thread a piece of watermelon onto each skewer, followed by a piece of feta cheese, and then another piece of watermelon. Continue this pattern until the skewer is filled, leaving some space on each end for handling. Repeat with remaining skewers.

      Season: Brush the assembled skewers lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.

        Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

          Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, just until grill marks appear and the watermelon is slightly softened. Watch closely to prevent it from losing its shape.

            Garnish: Remove the skewers from the grill and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Sprinkle the chopped mint over the skewers for a fresh touch.

              Serve: Serve warm or at room temperature as a refreshing appetizer or side dish, perfect for summer gatherings!
