# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • This snack comes together fast& perfect when you need a last-minute wow during summer gatherings.
  • The flavors are bright and unexpected& and you can confidently serve it to gluten-free or vegetarian guests.
02 -
  • Watermelon cubes too wet make everything slide off the skewer& so always pat them dry (I learned the sticky way).
  • If you use pre-crumbled feta instead of blocks& you’ll end up with a messy platter and frustrated guests.
03 -
  • Poking the skewer through the mint leaf at its stem prevents tearing and keeps the leaf intact.
  • A light sprinkle of flaky salt right before serving elevates the flavor& but only if your feta isn't too salty already.
