Photo: Watermelon, Feta and Mint Skewers with Sumac Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 small seedless watermelon, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 small honeydew melon, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes, optional
- 1 (8-ounce) block feta cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes or coarsely crumbled
- 1 tablespoon honey, such as buckwheat
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/2 teaspoon sumac, for sprinkling, see Cook's Note*
Directions
Assemble the watermelon and honeydew melon on a platter. Top with the feta cheese and drizzle with honey. Tear the mint leaves over the salad and sprinkle lime juice over the top. Sprinkle with the sumac. Serve.
*Cooks' Note: Sumac is a pretty pinkish-red powder whose tart, sour character is treasured in Middle Eastern cooking. It's made from the berry of a bush that grows wild in the region. You can find it at better supermarkets, Indian and Middle Eastern markets, and online.

WONDERFUL! So refreshing and light--you will make this many times. And be sure to buy the sumac, you'll love its citrusy taste. (I ordered it online, very inexpensive. I was surprised to find that a common ditch plant that grows wild in the midwest has such a tasty berry, or was even used like this. My only question is why "skewer" is in the recipe title--this threw me off when I looked up the recipe, because it doesn't use any.

Delicious. I had a watermelon sitting here and thought this would be a good way to use it, and so easy. I couldn't find the sumac so I just left it out but I will order some to try it that way. It was so refreshing and wonderful. Thank you Aarti. I love your recipes.
