RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

» How to Make Honeydew Melon Feta Skewers with Orange Mustard Vinaigrette

1. Slice the honeydew melon into thick discs. Trim away the rind, scoop out and discard the seeds, then cut the flesh into 1-inch cubes.
2. Peel the mandarins and gently separate them into segments. If the segments are large, cut them into bite-sized pieces.
3. Cut feta into 1-inch cubes.
4. In a shallow bowl, combine the dried oregano, red chili flakes, and chopped parsley. Mix well.
5. Coat each feta cube evenly with the herbed seasoning on all sides. Once all the feta cubes are coated, set them aside. Be gentle to keep the cubes intact.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until smooth and slightly emulsified. Stir in the chopped parsley and mix until combined. Set aside.
7. Thread one honeydew melon cube, one seasoned feta cube, one mandarin segment, and another honeydew melon cube onto each cocktail skewer. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
8. Arrange the skewers on a serving platter. Drizzle lightly with the orange mustard vinaigrette. Sprinkle with the remaining chopped parsley and a pinch of red chili flakes Serve immediately for the freshest flavor and the best texture.

RECIPE NOTES

1. Use a ripe yet firm honeydew melon so the cubes hold their shape on the skewers.
2. Prepare the melon, feta, and vinaigrette up to a day ahead. Assemble the skewers and drizzle with the dressing just before serving.
3. You can pair these skewers with sparkling lemonade, iced tea, or serve them as part of a summer appetizer or brunch plat
