# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It’s the secret weapon against a sultry afternoon when you don’t want to turn on the stove.
  • The balance of sweetness and salt sends everyone straight back for seconds.
02 -
  • Making the cubes too big or uneven leads to wobbly skewers and ingredients slipping off—learned that after a messy platter reveal.
  • Swapping in basil for mint gives a completely new vibe; the first time I did it, someone assumed I’d created a whole new menu.
03 -
  • Dry mint leaves well after rinsing, or they’ll stick to your fingers instead of sliding onto the skewer.
  • Stick with firm feta if you’re prepping ahead—softer feta can melt into the watermelon and make the skewers less sharp-looking.
