# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It's the kind of party snack that disappears before you even notice.
  • You don't need to turn on the stove, and cleanup is blissfully simple.
02 -
  • Watermelon gets slippery, so don’t rush—otherwise, your cubes start to look more like abstract art.
  • The first time I skimped on drying the mint, the leaves wilted and didn’t look inviting at all.
03 -
  • A chilled platter keeps your skewers fresh for longer in the summer heat.
  • Swapping feta for goat cheese gives a creamier bite that’s just as good.
