Watermelon Feta Appetizer Bites Recipe with Basil Syrup
Watermelon Feta bites are a great summer appetizer alternative to a watermelon feta salad. The watermelon Feta skewers are a perfect party food for warm weather.
Basil syrup should be prepared ahead of time, so it will be cool.
Cube the watermelon into blocks a bit wider than tall, then slice each across the middle horizontally.
Slice the feta into ¼ inch planks. Cut into pieces the same width as the watermelon.
Put a basil leaf on bottom slice of watermelon, top with feta then sandwich between another slice of watermelon. Insert pick.
When serving drizzle with the basil syrup.
Notes
While basil works wonderfully in this recipe, if you have a lot of mint or balm growing in your yard, both are good substitutes. Yes, I did try both. You could even make a matching syrup for them.
