# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • You can whip these up without breaking a sweat—no oven required!
  • They’re always a conversation starter thanks to the surprising burst of flavor in every bite.
02 -
  • If the watermelon isn’t dry enough before skewering, the cubes slip off and everything gets messy.
  • Switching to block-style feta instead of pre-crumbled made assembly so much easier (and tastier).
03 -
  • Cutting everything right before serving ensures the best texture and flavor.
  • Stacking mint leaves between watermelon and feta keeps the leaf from wilting and the flavors balanced.
