I love a salad that can be eaten with your fingers—and these watermelon, feta, and cucumber skewers are just that. Inspired by the classic watermelon-feta combo, I added crunchy cucumber, mint, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a bite-sized version that’s both elegant and refreshing. These are perfect for summer gatherings, light lunches, or when you just want to snack on something cool and beautiful.

They’re sweet, salty, crisp, and tangy all at once—and honestly, they disappear fast every time I serve them.
