Ingredients
  

4 cups seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, torn

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Skewers (wooden or metal)

Instructions
 

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

    Assemble Skewers: Thread the watermelon cubes onto each skewer, alternating with crumbled feta and torn mint leaves. You can create a pattern or simply alternate for a rustic look.

      Season: Drizzle the assembled skewers lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

        Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F (190°C).

          Grill 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 heated through. Be careful not to over-grill, as you want to maintain the watermelon’s structure.

            Drizzle Balsamic (Optional): Once off the grill, if desired, drizzle the skewers with balsamic glaze for added flavor.

              Serve: Transfer the skewers to a serving platter, garnish with additional mint leaves if desired, and serve warm.
