Ingredients
  

4 cups seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped

1 tablespoon balsamic glaze

1 teaspoon olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)

Toothpicks, for serving

Instructions
 

Prep the Watermelon: Start by cutting the seedless watermelon into 1-inch cubes and placing them in a large bowl. Ensure the pieces are uniform for even serving.

    Mix Feta and Mint: In a small bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese with the finely chopped mint leaves. Mix gently to combine the flavors without breaking the feta too much.

      Assemble the Bites: Using toothpicks, skewer one watermelon cube, followed by a generous spoonful of the feta and mint mixture. Follow with another watermelon cube. Repeat this process until all the ingredients are used up.

        Drizzle and Season: In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic glaze and olive oil. Lightly drizzle it over the assembled bites. Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes if desired.

          Serve: Place the prepared bites on a serving platter. For an extra crispy touch, you can lightly grill the watermelon skewers for 1-2 minutes on each side before serving (optional).
