Ingredients
  

4 cups seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn into small pieces

Balsamic glaze, for drizzling

Salt and pepper, to taste

Skewers or toothpicks, for serving

Instructions
 

Start by preparing your watermelon: Cut the seedless watermelon into bite-sized cubes (approximately 1 inch).

    In a mixing bowl, gently combine the cubed watermelon with the crumbled feta cheese and torn basil leaves. Be careful not to mash the ingredients together.

      Season the mixture lightly with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to enhance the flavors.

        Take a skewer or toothpick and assemble the bites by threading one cube of watermelon, followed by a small amount of the feta-basil mixture (you can push it gently to stay on) and finishing with another watermelon cube.

          Once all the bites are assembled, arrange them on a serving platter.

            Drizzle the assembled bites with balsamic glaze to add a sweet and tangy finish.

              Garnish with a few extra basil leaves or a sprinkle of feta, if desired.

                Serve immediately for the freshest taste—the perfect appetizer or light snack for any gathering!
