Notes
Use firm, seedless watermelon and block-style feta for best texture. Keep mint leaves dry to avoid sogginess. Assemble skewers just before serving or refrigerate no longer than 30 minutes. Optional balsamic glaze adds a sweet-tart finish. For dairy-free option, substitute feta with firm tofu marinated in lemon juice and olive oil.
