These Watermelon Feta Skewers are an amazing mix of sweet and salty. They are a perfect party appetizer for the summer months and whip up quickly and deliciously to serve friends and family.
Who doesn’t love a party on a stick!! It kicks off the festivities in an awesome way!! Want more great party food on a stick? Try our Appetizer Tortellini Skewers, Lemon Garlic Shrimp Kabobs, Fast Easy Oven Chicken Satay, or Grilled Teriyaki Beef Skewers. All of these are crown pleasers!! Or if you want more watermelon try our Caprese Melon Salad.

In Canada, we are hugely proud to be Canadians, but we don’t always show it in an outward manner! We celebrate things a bit quieter than some other countries. Maybe a little bit more subdued. We will celebrate Canada Day coming soon, and I think these Watermelon Feta Salad Skewers would be a perfect way to do it.
I love taking a great idea for a salad and giving it a new and exciting twist! This appetizer whips up in no time and will be the hit of any party with its refreshing and tangy flavors. For myself, I can eat the entire platter, love the salty/sweet combo!
The basil is from our backyard as we grow it in abundance, and we do use it in many dishes and drinks!! You only need a total of six ingredients for this recipe. How easy is that?!

How To Make Watermelon Feta Skewers
I love that this celebrates our Canadian flag, but it is not a complicated recipe that will have you slaving all day. You can also customize the skewers to the size that you like. I know our flag doesn’t have green in it, but it sure adds flavor, and they are perfect for summer.
I liked them big with a hearty chunk of feta. You can also incorporate the basil right onto the skewer or have it sprinkled over.
Don’t like basil? Try them with mint leaves, as that is a great alternative!! Some recipes use olive oil, but I really just like a balsamic reduction or glaze.




Dice the watermelon and feta into 1-inch cubes. Use a mandoline to thinly slice the cucumbers lengthwise.




Skewer the watermelon cubes, then the meat, cucumber, feta, and basil (or mint leaf), and lastly, thread a piece of watermelon at the end. (Fold the meat, cucumber, and basil just prior to skewering.) Repeat with remaining ingredients.

Arrange on a serving platter. Drizzle with balsamic reduction and a sprinkle of kosher salt over top. Serve immediately.
Can I Make These Watermelon Skewers Ahead of Time?

Serve as soon as assembled. Recipe does not keep well in the refrigerator for long periods of time. If needed, assemble about an hour before serving and store in the fridge. Then, add the balsamic reduction and kosher salt just before serving.
Planning a BBQ, gathering, or party for the weekend? Or just keeping it to your family?
Either way, you can have these skewers as they are so simple and easy to make. Say Happy Canada Day with this delicious appetizer!!

That looks so good! The tang of feta is so perfect with the sweet of the watermelon. I have to make this.
Melissa Chapman says
This is a great color scheme for Canada. I never had watermelon with cheese but I would try it and it looks like a cool dish for the summer.
valmg @ Mom Knows It All says
That is a colorful snack and I love how simple it is to make. Watermelon is one of my favorite fruits, if I were trying to make these it might not make it to the skewer.
