Summer Snack Skewers
Two easy appetizers using ripe summer fruits with creamy cheeses and fresh herbs that look fancy but take minutes to make.
Servings: 32 skewers
Ingredients
- 1 ripe peach cut into bite-sized pieces
- 8 mozzarella ciliegine cut in half
- 16 small basil leaves or 8 large cut in half
- 1 cup watermelon cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 oz feta in brine cut into bite-sized pieces
- 16 small mint leaves or 8 large cut in half
- 1 Persian or mini cucumber halved and cut into bite-sized pieces
- cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil
- flaked sea salt
- balsamic glaze
Instructions
- Assemble the peach skewers: peach, basil, then mozzarella.
- Assemble the watermelon skewers: watermelon, feta, mint, then cucumber.
- Once all skewers are assembled, drizzle with olive oil and balsamic glaze, then sprinkle with flaked sea salt. Arrange on platter and serve.
Notes
The skewers can be assembled in advance, but we recommend waiting until just before serving to add the finishing touches (olive oil, balsamic glaze, and sea salt). Summer Snack Skewers are a great appetizer for any summer gathering – BBQs, pool parties, backyard dinner parties – when these fruits are in season. This recipe makes 16 skewers of each type (32 total), but it’s easy to scale up for a larger crowd.
