I first came up with this recipe a few years ago when I was looking for a light and refreshing appetizer to serve at a summer party. I had some watermelon on hand, and I thought it would be nice to pair it with some feta cheese and fresh mint. The result was so delicious that I've been making these skewers ever since.
