👩🍳 Step-by-Step Preparation
🔪 Step 1: Prepare the Watermelon
Slice the watermelon and cut out 400 g of flesh into neat, even 2 cm cubes 🍉🔲.
If they’re very juicy, pat them dry gently with paper towels to avoid excess liquid later.
🔪 Step 2: Prepare the Feta
Cut 150 g feta into cubes the same size as the watermelon 🧀🔲.
Try to keep the cubes consistent for a clean, professional look ✨.
🌿 Step 3: Prepare the Mint
Detach 16 fresh mint leaves (≈ 8 g).
Rinse them briefly under cold water ❄️🚰 and pat them dry carefully with paper towels.
🥄 Step 4: Make the Vinaigrette
In a small bowl, whisk together:
20 mL olive oil 🫒
10 mL lemon juice 🍋
2 g fine salt 🧂
3 turns black pepper 🌶️
Whisk until slightly emulsified for a light, fragrant dressing 😋.
🥡 Step 5: Marinate
Place all watermelon and feta cubes in a large salad bowl 🥗.
Drizzle the vinaigrette over and toss very gently so the cubes don’t break.
Let marinate for 5 minutes in the fridge ❄️.
🍢 Step 6: Assemble the Skewers
