watermelon, basil, and feta cheese appetizers

Watermelon Feta Basil Martini Skewer Salad

Salty, sweet and crisply herby, you’ll never look at watermelon the same way after you’ve tried it like this!

What You’ll Need

  • 1 seedless watermelon
  • 1 package feta cheese
  • 1 cup basil leaves
  • Wooden skewers
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt

Let’s Do It

  • Cut chilled watermelon into approximately 1″ cubes
  • Cut feta carefully into cubes–be careful not to crush
  • Alternate watermelon, feta, and basil leaves on skewers
  • Place finished skewers into an unexpected cocktail glass, like a martini
  • Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil
  • Sprinkle with a pinch of authentic sea salt

Pop your feta into the freezer an hour before you're ready to use it—this makes it easy to cube and keeps it from crumbling on your skewer.
