# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • These skewers solve the perpetual summertime snack dilemma when you want something hydrating but also savory.
  • They look stunning and impress guests, but you can prep them in minutes while chatting over coffee.
02 -
  • Watermelon cubes that are too wet can make the feta slide off—gently blot them with paper towels.
  • Stacking skewers tightly on the platter hides their beauty, so give them some breathing room to showcase the colors.
03 -
  • Using block feta instead of pre-crumbled gives perfect cubes and richer taste.
  • A drizzle of balsamic glaze just before serving elevates the flavors and presentation.
