Ingredients
  

4 cups fresh watermelon, cut into 1-inch bite-sized cubes

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

Pinch of sea salt (optional)

Toothpicks or small skewers for assembly

Instructions
 

Prepare the Watermelon: Start by selecting a ripe and juicy watermelon. Cut the watermelon into even cubes, ensuring each cube is approximately 1 inch in size for uniformity and easy stacking.

    Assemble the Bites: Take a toothpick or small skewer, and begin by threading one cube of watermelon onto it. Follow the watermelon with a generous sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese, then add a second cube of watermelon on top to create a delightful mini layered bite. Continue the process until all of your ingredients are used and you have assembled a tasty stack of bites.

      Add Flavor: Once all bites are assembled, elegantly drizzle balsamic glaze over the top of each skewer, imparting a rich tanginess. If you like, lightly sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the bites—this step enhances the sweetness of the watermelon and balances the creaminess of the feta.

        Garnish: To elevate the visual appeal and add a hint of fresh flavor, top each skewer with a vibrant mint leaf, placing it at the very end.

          Chill and Serve: Arrange the watermelon feta bites on a serving platter, then refrigerate for about 15-20 minutes. This chilling time will provide a refreshing touch, making the bites even more enjoyable when served cold as an appetizer or a delightful snack.
