Fresh, colorful, and delicious, these skewers put an original twist on a classic summer favorite. A simple, sun-kissed recipe that is perfect for a light appetizer or a summer buffet.
Ingredients (for 12 skewers) :
1/2 chilled watermelon
200g feta cheese
A dozen fresh mint leaves
Mint-infused olive oil
Fleur de sel & pepper
A few sesame or nigella seeds (optional)
Recipe :
Cut the watermelon into cubes of approximately 2.5 cm, removing the seeds if necessary.
Cut the feta into similarly sized cubes to ensure a nice balance on each skewer.
Assemble the skewers by alternating: a watermelon cube, a mint leaf, a feta cube...
Arrange the skewers on a serving platter and drizzle with the mint-infused olive oil.
Finish with a few grinds of pepper, a pinch of fleur de sel, and—if desired—a few sesame or nigella seeds for a light crunch.
For an extra touch of indulgence:
Prepare the skewers a few hours in advance and keep them well-chilled. Add the mint-infused olive oil just before serving to preserve the full freshness of its aroma.
Bon appétit!
