Fireworks, pool floats, and snack attacks! If you're anything like me, you're always looking for that perfect summer bite that's easy to throw together but still looks like you tried. Enter: Red, White and Blueberry Skewers! These little cuties are sweet, savory, and so dang snackable, they're practically begging to be the star of your Fourth of July spread!
But let's not limit the fun to just one holiday. These watermelon, blueberry, and feta skewers are just as fabulous for summer picnics, BBQs, or anytime your snack board needs a little razzle dazzle. And I’m not kidding when I say they vanish faster than you can say "pass the lemonade." My teens can’t get enough—they’re usually swiping them straight off the platter before I even get them out of the kitchen!
Here’s what you’ll need:
- ¼ of a regular watermelon
- 8 oz block feta cheese
- 12 fresh mint leaves
- 12 blueberries
And your gear:
- A cutting board
- A sharp knife
- 12 large toothpicks (the sturdy kind, not the flimsy ones!)
Now let’s assemble the magic:
Cut your feta block into 12 cute little cubes.
Slice your watermelon into 12 slightly larger cubes—gotta give that feta a fruity throne to sit on!
On a serving platter, layer a watermelon cube first, then a cube of feta, a mint leaf, and top it off with a blueberry.
Pierce it all with a toothpick to hold it together.
Boom. Done. You can serve these beauties right away or pop them in the fridge until party time. They’re refreshing, colorful, and the ultimate mix of juicy-sweet and salty-good. Basically, your summer snack MVP!
