Ingredients
  

4 cups of seedless watermelon, cut into bite-sized cubes

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped

1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (optional, for drizzling)

Pinch of sea salt

Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Skewers or toothpicks for assembly

Instructions
 

Prepare the Watermelon: Start by rinsing the watermelon to clean it thoroughly. Cut the seedless watermelon into bite-sized cubes, roughly 1-inch in size.

    Crumble the Feta: Place the feta cheese in a bowl. Use a fork to crumble it into small, manageable pieces that can easily be placed on the watermelon.

      Chop the Mint: Rinse the fresh mint leaves to remove any dirt. Pat dry with a paper towel. Using a sharp knife, finely chop the mint leaves.

        Assemble the Bites: On each skewer or toothpick, stack a watermelon cube and then sprinkle some crumbled feta cheese on top. Add a pinch of chopped mint for a burst of flavor. Repeat the stacking until all ingredients are used.

          Season: Once all your bites are assembled, sprinkle them lightly with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper for an added kick.

            Drizzle (Optional): If you like a touch of sweetness, drizzle a small amount of balsamic glaze over the assembled bites before serving.

              Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the watermelon feta bites on a serving platter. These bites can be served immediately as a refreshing appetizer or snack.
