Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prep Ingredients: Begin by preparing your fresh ingredients for the Watermelon Feta Skewers. Dice about ⅓ of a medium watermelon and 8 ounces of feta cheese into neat 1-inch cubes. Use a mandoline to thinly slice 2 mini cucumbers lengthwise into ribbons for that refreshing crunch. Lay all the ingredients out on a clean cutting board to streamline assembly.
  2. Assemble Skewers: Grab some wooden skewers and thread the ingredients in this order: start with a watermelon cube, followed by a folded piece of cured meat, then a slice of cucumber, followed by a feta cube, and finish with a basil leaf. Top it all off with another watermelon cube to secure the flavors together. Ensure each skewer has a colorful mix.
  3. Arrange on Platter: Once all skewers are assembled, carefully arrange them on a serving platter. Be creative with the layout to showcase the vibrant colors of the watermelon, feta, and cucumbers.
  4. Garnish: Drizzle 2 tablespoons of balsamic reduction over the arranged skewers. Next, sprinkle ½ teaspoon of kosher salt to enhance the flavors.
  5. Serve Immediately: These delightful Watermelon Feta Skewers are best enjoyed fresh. Serve them immediately after garnishing.
