For watermelon skewers, All feta is not the made the same. We tried a Bulgarian goat & it crumbled. Would recommend a double cream
Is there another fruit you can suggest if blackberries are not in season? Raspberries???
Hi Kelley, Raspberries are a little too soft. You could go with blueberries, or peach slices would work nicely.
Can you make the day before and store in the fridge?
Hi Kelly,
Yes you should be okay as long as your watermelon is not over ripe.
Oh, what a refreshing appetizer for a summer party. With all of the balsamic and oil olive stores opening, I’m sure a sweet balsamic drizzle would go perfectly with these skewers. Thank you for sharing a healthy option for summer picnics.
I almost made this recipe with a balsamic glaze, but decided against it at the last minute. I am sure it would be perfect on these skewers.
Gorgeous and delicious summer treat, love the salty, sweet and juicy combo.
Thanks Katalina!
Amy, Watermelon. Blackberries, and Feta are summer staples in my house. Even my kids would love these!
They make a great flavor combo, hope the kiddies love it!
I love these little bites! I make something similar with mango instead of watermelon and they are my favorite little snacks for summer parties. I need to try the watermelon next time for a refreshing treat!
Thanks Ashley, I was just looking at the mangos at the store today. I need to bring some home and do some experimenting while they are in season.
