Watermelon Feta Skewers
Servings: 5 servings (2 skewers each)
Ingredients
- ¼ of a seedless watermelon, about 2 cups
- 8 ounces of feta cheese in brine
- 20 baby spinach leaves
- ⅛ cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- Zest and juice of 1 lime
- Coarse salt, for garnish
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, lime juice and zest.
- Cut the watermelon into 10, ¾ inch cubes. Cut the feta cheese into the same sized, ¾ inch cubes, 10 of them.
- Begin to assemble the skewers by taking a large toothpick and adding a folded spinach leaf at the end. Place a watermelon cube next, followed by a feta cube. End the skewer with another folded spinach leaf. Repeat this to the remaining 9 skewers.
- Drizzle some lime olive oil glaze over the top of the skewers and a sprinkle of coarse salt. Serve and enjoy.
Notes
- You can switch out the spinach leaves with basil leaves or mint leaves based on your preference. Or you can alternate different leaves on the skewer for different taste profiles.
- These skewers are best served fresh. However, you can prep the ingredients the night before to make assembly easier the next day.
- The olive oil glaze can be optional, but we find that it adds a really nice acidity to the dish.
