Ingredients

  • cup Balsamic vinegar
  • 8 oz / 225g block feta cheese
  • Watermelon
  • Cucumber
  • Fresh mint leaves optional
  • 25 toothpicks

Instructions

  • To make the balsamic glaze, place the vinegar in a small pot over low heat. Cook for 5-8 minutes, swirling around every now and then.*
  • When you see it begin to look like a syrup and the liquid has reduced, shut off the heat - it will thicken upon standing.
  • Cut the feta into cubes. Since it is basically a large square, you can cut it into 5 rows of 5 cubes to get 25.
  • Cut watermelon into cubes about the same size.


    Cubed Watermelon
  • Cut the cucumber into cubes, about the same size. This can be a little tricky due to the shape of the cucumber. Try to cut lengthwise first down the middle, taking both sides off, then cut cubes.
  • To assemble the skewers place a cucumber cube down first, place a Feta cube on top, and finally a cube of watermelon. (You can always change the order of how you put them together.)
  • Gently push a toothpick through the middle to secure all the pieces together.
  • If using mint, push a mint leaf down over the toothpick onto the watermelon. Refrigerate until ready to serve.


  • Drizzle with balsamic glaze right before serving. (If the reduction has gotten too thick, put it on the stove again over low heat for a few seconds to thin out a bit. You can also add a small amount of water to help the process).

Notes

*Making a large batch of balsamic reduction can take up to 30 minutes, however, because such a small amount is used it will not take that long.
