# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They come together in 15 minutes flat, which means you can actually enjoy your party instead of being stuck in the kitchen.
  • The contrast of cold, juicy watermelon with creamy feta and fresh mint is addictive in a way that feels sophisticated but tastes like summer.
  • These work for literally any warm-weather gathering, from casual backyard meals to more dressed-up affairs.
02 -
  • Don't assemble these more than an hour before serving, as the watermelon releases moisture and makes the skewers weep and soften the feta. Cold components assembled at the last moment taste infinitely better.
  • If your feta is extremely soft or crumbly, freeze the cubes for 20 minutes before threading to keep them intact and elegant on the skewer.
03 -
  • If you're serving a crowd, prep double or triple the quantity because people treat these like they're free samples at a market.
  • Add thin cucumber slices or halved cherry tomatoes to some skewers for texture variation that keeps guests interested through the whole platter.
