4 servings
For the balsamic glaze
- ½ cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
For the skewers
- 4 cups seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes (about ¼ of a small watermelon)
- 6 oz feta cheese, cut into ¾-inch cubes
- 1 english cucumber, cut into ½-inch rounds
- 24 fresh mint leaves
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ tsp flaky sea salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Combine the balsamic vinegar and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has reduced by about half and coats the back of a spoon, 6–8 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes — it will thicken further as it cools.

Thread each 6-inch skewer in this order: one mint leaf (folded), one watermelon cube, one cucumber round, one feta cube, and one more mint leaf. Repeat to assemble all 12 skewers, arranging them on a serving platter as you go.
