1 Cut feta and watermelon into cubes (see notes above).
2 Make a mint pesto dressing: Combine fresh peppermint leaves, fresh basil leaves, almonds, garlic, grated hard cheese, extra virgin olive oil, salt and freshly ground black pepper in a cup of a food processor and blend until smooth, scrapping sides and adding water to adjust the consistency. The dressing should be a bit thinner than your regular pesto but not too thin. Reserve about 4 tablespoons and refrigerate the rest (you can use it for pasta or as a bread spread).
3 Thread a watermelon cube onto a skewer following by a chunk of feta. Repeat until you have 3 watermelon cubes and 2 chunks of feta on the skewer. Continue with the rest of the skewers.
4 Place watermelon skewers on a serving plate or into a container and drizzle with the pesto dressing. Garnish with peppermint leaves. Enjoy!
