# Expert Advice:
01 -
- You can throw it together in minutes when guests arrive unannounced.
- It feels special but is secretly so simple that even a distracted home cook can master it.
02 -
- The feta will break if you cut it too thin—aim for sturdy cubes, and use a sharp knife to avoid crumbling.
- Letting the assembled skewers sit too long causes the watermelon to release juice and soften the cheese, so serve promptly.
03 -
- Use sturdy toothpicks or short skewers to prevent everything from sliding right off.
- Sprinkle a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt on top to elevate the flavors even further.
