Ingredients
Fruits
- 1/2 large watermelon or 1 small watermelon
- 24 blueberries
Dairy
- 12 oz / 340 g feta cheese
Instructions
- Slice watermelon: Place the watermelon on a cutting board and hold it firmly. Using a long, sharp knife, cut the watermelon into 1/3-inch (1 cm) thick round slices.
- Cut out watermelon stars: Take a star-shaped cookie cutter and press it into each watermelon round to cut out star shapes. Arrange the stars closely to maximize usage. Save leftover watermelon for a refreshing watermelon cooler.
- Slice feta cheese: Cut the 12 oz block of feta cheese lengthwise into 1/3-inch (1 cm) thick slices, matching the watermelon thickness for uniformity.
- Cut out feta stars: Use the star-shaped cookie cutter to form star shapes from the feta slices. Place cuts near each other to minimize waste. Crumble the leftover feta for salads, dips, or marinades.
- Assemble skewers: Stack one feta star on top of a watermelon star and then top with a blueberry. Secure the trio with a skewer or toothpick inserted through the center to hold the appetizer together.
Notes
- Use a star-shaped cookie cutter of about 1.5 to 2 inches for best results.
- Leftover watermelon can be blended into a delicious, refreshing cooler drink.
- Leftover feta pieces can be crumbled into salads or used for dips or marinated cheese dishes.
- Ensure the watermelon slices are firm to cut perfect stars without breaking.
- Refrigerate the assembled skewers until serving to keep them fresh and cool.
