# Expert Advice:
01 -
- No stove or oven means you stay cool and your kitchen does too.
- The combination of sweet, salty, and juicy is the sort of surprise that gets people talking.
02 -
- Wet feta makes for sliding skewers—pat cubes gently with a paper towel before assembling.
- Trying the skewers with halloumi led to a firmer, grill-worthy twist, which was a fun and delicious experiment.
03 -
- Always use a sharp knife for clean cuts—a dull blade will crush the watermelon.
- Let the assembled skewers chill for at least 10 minutes so flavors mingle and textures sharpen up.
