  • Choose a seedless watermelon that feels heavy for its size and has a yellow spot where it rested on the ground, indicating ripeness
  • Buy block feta packed in brine rather than pre-crumbled for better texture and easier cutting
  • Use a sharp knife to cut clean cubes of watermelon without crushing the flesh
  • If wooden skewers seem too long, break or cut them to a more manageable 4-inch length
  • For a dramatic presentation, serve the skewers standing upright in a halved watermelon or on a bed of crushed ice
  • Make a double batch—these disappear quickly at parties
