Can I make these skewers in advance?

It is best to prepare Watermelon and Feta Cheese Skewers close to serving time to retain their freshness. However, if you need to make them in advance, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume them within two days.

What can I substitute for feta cheese?

If you're looking for a substitute for feta cheese, goat cheese is a fantastic option that offers a similar texture while adding a slightly different flavor profile. Vegan feta is also available and can be used for a dairy-free alternative.

How can I make these skewers more filling?

For a filling snack, consider adding sliced grilled chicken or chickpeas along with the watermelon and feta on the skewers. This will enhance the protein content and make the dish a more substantial appetizer.

Is it necessary to drizzle balsamic glaze?

While drizzling balsamic glaze adds a wonderful touch of flavor and elevates the presentation, it is optional. The skewers are delightful on their own without it, allowing the natural flavors of the watermelon and feta to shine.

What do I do if my watermelon is tasteless?

If your watermelon is not very sweet or flavorful, consider combining it with a sprinkle of lime juice or serving it with a hint of honey on top. This can help enhance its taste.
